C&A, Legacy Systems

Data StandardizationService-Specific ConfigurationMedical LogisticsSharePoint Portals (2003 and 2007)


Cloud computing and virtualization…Custom developed solutions and interfaces…

@mrackley says “To the cloud!”

Additional Challenges


• Factor 1: Gather - do a project inventory• Factor 2: Identify – projects that match a

strategic objective• Factor 3: Prioritize – score and categorize

your projects• Factor 4: Manage – actively manage the

portfolio

BEST PRACTICE 3: AGILE METHODOLOGIES –

PRODUCT INTEGRATIONSharePoint as a Platform/SOA


Joint Task Force – National Capital Region (JTF-CAPMED) 2010-present

Process• Phase I – 1 month – BPA: Assessment and Evaluation • Phase II – 3 months

•Data and systems architecture and design•Program Management Information System (PMIS)

• Phase III – 3 months •Systems Integration (COTS)•Custom Development (SharePoint)•Data Quality


Results

• Unique health services supply chain solution• Integration of 100% construction, financial,

contractual, capital equipment, procurement, warehouse, and tracking data (RFID/barcode)

• 100% accountability of $322 million of equipment w/in 6 months

SharePoint SOA: Creation of prototype DMLSS interface and cradle-to-grave

accountability


SharePoint Solutions

• Project Management Information System (PMIS)

• Virtual Bullpen – Remote Development Teams

WORST PRACTICEChallenges with transactional and relational data management


TRADEOFFExisting client-facing portal/limited development environment


SUMMARYBP1: Systems Approach: Enterprise ArchitectureBP2: Plan for Change ManagementBP3: Agile Methodologies: Product Integration

Worst Practice: Limited transactional/relational data capabilities; challenges to data integration

Tradeoff: Existing infrastructure/limited development environment
