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 efforts are focused on helping our government customers realize the benefits of FEA by becoming more citizen centered and customer focused and by maximizing technology investments to better achieve mission objectives.

The 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 the Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA) in 2002. The goal of the FEA is to simplify processes and unify work across agencies and within the lines of business of the federal government. The outcome of this effort will be a more citizen-centered, customer-focused government that maximizes technology investments to better achieve mission outcomes.
