Leading the Way With FEA
Citizant has extensive expertise in enterprise architecture and has worked on the Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA) program for several years. Our government customers have successfully used the principles of EA to deliver results that align business and IT functions, eliminate duplication, leverage IT investments, and accelerate delivery of electronic government. Citizant’s proven EA management methodology supports information sharing and allows agencies to become more citizen centered.
Major challenges facing the federal government cut across the mission boundaries of many agencies. That’s why the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) established Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA) in 2002. The goal of FEA is to simplify processes and unify work across government agencies and within its lines of business. Citizant helps to make this a reality by providing enterprise architecture services that can help you:
- Make effective investment decisions
- Integrate and modernize legacy infrastructure
- Leverage regulatory compliance to enhance operations and maximize IT investments
- Transform FEA into solutions that deliver rapid and enduring results
- Cost-effectively transition to unified lines of business
Experienced in All Phases of FEA
Our EA professionals are well versed in all phases of the FEA architecture, with extensive expertise in the data-architecture and business-processes layers. Our services include:
- Helping client’s meet OMB and Government Accountability Office (GAO) enterprise architecture requirements
- Integrating EA with capital planning and investment review processes
- Helping to put the infrastructure in place for EA program success, including defining policies, procedures, and governance
- Establishing and supporting EA program management offices
- Making EA architecture strategies actionable at the program level
Sharing Trusted Data Across the Enterprise
The goal of successful enterprise architecture is effective information sharing. Citizant’s expertise in this area works to optimize communications across the enterprise. For example, our data harmonization and standardization services ensure that all users can successfully communicate using a common format and vocabulary. In addition, our pioneering work with authoritative data sources helps to make certain that trusted information can be seamlessly shared and integrated across business lines and with partners and citizens.
Integration and Alignment
The Citizant team provides “line of sight” from IT solutions to mission goals. Ensuring ongoing alignment of the performance, business, data, and systems architectures to the target architecture ensures solutions are developed with an enterprise view. This is the key to success in delivering practical IT solutions that provide the business services and products to enable federal agencies deliver on their missions and become more citizen-centered.
