3. NNEC CMM Concept and The Overarching Architecture (OA)
NNEC CMM inspired by work of Carnegie Mellon, Software Engineering Institute (SEI)
Initial SEI work focused on software development processes
SEI work characterized by a five-level model describing an evolutionary path for achieving a ‘goal’
NNEC CMM concept
Focus is on Services
Involves:
Five-level model
Areas identified in the NNEC Strategic Framework
Overarching Architecture provides descriptions of Service needs and dependencies

5. OA Features Supporting CMM - Initial Listing of NII Services
OA v2.5 provides an initial (partial) listing of NII Enterprise Services
Services are based on results of the NNEC Feasibility Study (NNEC FS)
Includes services identified in the NATO C3 Technical Architecture
Reflects work on technology trends done by the Gartner Group and the Forrester Group
Services are
Identified by Areas : Groups : Categories
Linked to Transformational Phases
Service groupings provide starting point for identifying CMM Levels

7. OA Features Supporting CMM – Association of Services with Systems
The OA provides for inclusion of information on current and planned systems
Focus is on NATO Common Funded Systems
Includes information on potential Enterprise Services to be provided by systems
This feature means that the OA can be used to assess ability of systems to support a CMM level
Current system information limited to systems with published Reference Architectures
Includes information on planned use of ‘Infrastructure’ Services

9. OA Features Supporting CMM - Operation Needs Linked To NII Services
The OA contains models of the ‘mission space’ and associated ‘user’ information requirements
Information requirements are linked to requirements for Functional and Infrastructure Services
As a result OA can be used to formally identify NII Services required to support transformational maturity levels

Utilization of CMM
NII related, CP and Force planning
Broad statement of requirements for NII
Common language to sync NATO, national efforts
Starting point for reference level architecture work
Supports identification of required interoperability services
Starting point for identifying changes to existing programs
Basis for development of NII certification criteria
Quality of Information (QoI) driven by mission objectives, linked to Quality of Service (QoS) constraints
Constraints provide basis for development of metrics, which can be used in developing criteria

Summary
OA provides an architectural foundation to support CMM development
Initial listing of NII Services
Linking of operational needs to required NII Services
Alignment of Services Across Service Areas
OA can be used to map CMM levels to systems
Limited information on current and planned systems available in OAv2.5
OA can support development of CMM certification criteria
Criteria would be linked to Quality of Information and Quality of Service constraints
Constraints would be based on operational needs
