6. Enterprise Collaboration“Giving Users the Power of Choice” • Services provide web conferencing, IM, • chat, file-sharing, and application-sharing • capabilities • Available on NIPRNET and SIPRNET • A sample of benefits realized to date - • E-CollabCenter saves BTA estimated $216K • “E-CollabCenter…provided us a way to connect our geographically dispersed Subject Matter Experts…” - Teri Vosburg, David Donahue, and Aaron Avant • DCO supports Army and Air Force Reserve Officers Training Corps • “With DCO, … able to demonstrate that distributed collaborative learning in the format of a Virtual Staff Ride is … technologically feasible, and pedagogically sound…”– Brian Shaw E-CollabCenter Defense Connect Online (DCO) Go Green with NCES Collaboration UNCLASSIFIED5

7. NCES Performance Enhancement GCDS Use Case: SWA → CONUS Content Provider Content Provider GCDS Edge Node GCDS Edge Node Route to Content (w/o GCDS) Route to Content (w/ GCDS) Delivering Content in Support of GWOT Average of 30X Faster via GCDS UNCLASSIFIED 6

8. NCES Metadata Environment Net-Centric Publisher • Primary Benefits • Aids and aligns user interaction with the components of the NCES Metadata Environment • Reduces the complexity of metadata publication and registration within NCES • Improves end user effectiveness and experience • Enables service discovery via Federated Search 2a. Service metadata is automatically registered in the DoD Metadata Registry 1. User enters all Service information User Logs into DKO SSO into Publisher 2b. Service endpoints are automatically registered in Service Registry 2c. Service is automatically exposed to Federated Search 7

11. Test & Evaluation Strategy IOC Combined Development Testing w/ Operational Assessments IOC (June 2009) PVT/OT & IOT&E • Key Performance Parameters • Non-KPP Operational Metrics Spiral 2.0 • Joint Enterprise Directory Services • Enterprise Collaboration (Button 2) • Service Discovery & Governance (02 May 08) EUT 4 • Attribute-Based Access Control Security • Intelink Central Search Capability • Initial Enterprise Services Management Spiral 1.1 EUT 3 (09 Oct 07) EUT 2 • Enterprise Collaboration (Button 1) Spiral 1.0 (22 Feb 07) • Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) COI & Global Strike COI • C2 Global Data Pilot • Early Capabilities Baseline from Technology Demonstration Phase EUT 1 Incremental Deployment of Capability Spirals based on Early User Testing UNCLASSIFIED 10

12. Implementation Policy • JROCM 010-08, 14 Jan 2008 (incorporated into CJCSI 6212.01E, 15 Dec 2008) • Include data and service exposure criteria in the Interoperability and Supportability Certification Process • Applicable to all new start programs submitted after 1 Jan 2008 • Data worksheets refer to NCES Metadata Registry, Content Discovery, and Service Discovery • DCIO memorandum “DoD Enterprise Services Designation -- Collaboration, Content Discovery, and Content Delivery”, 2 Feb 2009 • Enterprise Guidance Board (EGB) evaluated and accepted these capabilities as Enterprise Services • Components are to deliver an implementation plan for use of these services UNCLASSIFIED 11

13. Observations and Lessons Learned • Defining smaller increments with clear milestones is imperative • Identify high-value capabilities and show results early • Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) are key • Understanding of workflows and data • Share, share, share • Leverage Reuse (knowledge, work products, and lessons learned) • Governance is mandatory • Coordinate Enterprise Service Standards, Protocols, Specifications, and Reference Implementations UNCLASSIFIED 12

14. Observations and Lessons Learned • Firewalls are uniquely restricted within many organizations • Custom rule sets exist across the enterprise – no clear, single policy • Access to standard web interfaces (HTTP) is often blocked • “Special requests” and processes are needed to implement • Developers can implement net-centric capabilities rapidly • Net-Centricity is an extension of existing system development UNCLASSIFIED 13

15. Summary A Combat Support Agency • NCES Program is providing Core Enterprise Services • On-track for Full Deployment Decision Review and Initial Operational Capability in FY09 • How can you help? • Obtain accounts….. • Use the Services…. • Provide feedback….. • Expose your data and information • Help us find and transform policies and processes that are barriers to delivering and utilizing net-centric capabilities Get Connected….Be a Part of Realizing the Vision! 14
