Business Process Re-engineering
Industry Leadership
Innovation:
eGlobalTech has developed a strong reputation as an "Industry Leader" in the federal community through a proven track record of mission-focused innovation. Examples of the firm's innovative approach to improving Government services and increasing performance levels include:
- 2008 Government Technology Research Alliance (GTRA) Enterprise Architecture Conference Speakers: Ms. Jain and Mr. Primetica presented a Service-Oriented Approach to developing Segment Architectures in the Federal Government. Our approach is business driven and focused on identifying business services that are common within a segment, based upon a demand and supply framework. These common services are then used for developing information technology solutions to be implemented across the offices/organizations impacted by that segment.
- Enterprise Architecture (EA) Development and Line of Business Modeling: eGlobalTech developed an intuitive template that captures EA driven information at each level: Business, Service Component, Data, Technology, and Performance. This template (1) captures all required information in a standardized format (2) established a direct relationship, or line-of-sight, between each architecture level (3) allows for analysis in order to define Department-wide opportunities for consolidation, service reuse, and/or modernization. This template was cited as a best practice by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) on www.core.gov and has been used to develop two of the Top 4 Federal Enterprise Architectures (the Department of Labor and the Department of Education).
- Performance Metric Development Methodology: Published a methodology for use by federal agencies in developing effective and results-oriented IT investment performance metrics. This methodology ties performance to all pertinent IT investment areas, including business requirements/objectives and technology. This methodology was published in the Journal of Enterprise Architecture and has been used to measure the performance of major IT initiatives throughout the Federal Government.
- AFFIRM Sponsorship - eGlobalTech sponsors the Association for Federal Information Resource Management (AFFIRM) which is a non-profit, volunteer, educational organization whose goal is to improve the management of information within the Federal Government. eGloablTech interests in this organization go beyond the Federal arena, to the student community, as AFFIRM has a program that provides scholarships to undergraduate students studying IT or a related field in 6 Universities.
- eGlobalTech Teaches at the USDA Grad School
eGlobalTech teaches an in-depth 3-day course on "Implementing Enterprise Architecture" as part of the USDA Graduate School's Enterprise Architecture Certification Program. The course covers all of the key components of establishing and maintaining a successful Federal Enterprise Architecture Program - including effective EA Development and Deployment, Governance, Integration with Capital Planning and Investment Control (CPIC), IT Security, and addressing OMB Assessment Criteria. This popular course includes Federal Agency best practices, case studies and interactive presentations.

Creating a Line of Sight in Enterprise Architecture
By Branko Primetica, eGlobalTech Vice President and Sonya Jain, eGlobalTech President
Abstract
Performance is a key driver of Enterprise Architecture efforts within organizations of varying sizes. In order to use this driver, it is important to determine quantifiable, outcome-based metrics that can be used to measure and track progress towards a “target” vision. These metrics must be aligned throughout all layers of the EA, thereby creating a “Line of Sight” from business goals to related services and enabling technology. Performance measurements must be aligned to strategic goals and mission needs, and must work seamlessly to drive technical solutions – from inputs to outputs to outcomes.
