John MacMillan, CIO, Pennsylvania explains how states can leverage EA for improved IT procurement and align with enterprise IT strategies, architecture and standards-based acquisition.
Enterprise Architecture (EA) is the blueprint for state information technology (IT), serves as the state's IT vision and drives every enterprise-level decision. EA-driven procurement provides:
- A framework and governance for establishing standards for IT
- Delivers IT services more effectively through streamlined investments
- Reduces silos in state government
- Decreases costs through standardization
- Assists service providers in framing projects and delivering solutions that are consistent with the state government enterprise direction
- Streamlines negotiations and contract management
