More on the DoD to Amazon.com Analogy

• Possible DoD Application
• Catalog of goods from Defense Logistics Agency

Analogous

• Standard service interface used
• Data shared using well defined vocabulary
• Services used by known unanticipated users
• Free core enterprise services

May be Analogous

• Low cost of entry (Services are free or very low
  cost)
• No special access permissions needed

Not Analogous

• Amazon drove data standards (COI of 1)
• Usage directly translates to financial rewards
  for Amazon and its affiliates

We are Net-Centric Information Sharing Pioneers

• Together we are pioneering agile information
  sharing in the DoD and Intelligence Community (IC)

8
We are Net-Centric Information Sharing Pioneers
(concluded)

• But some challenges remain, e.g.,

Enterprise Information Assurance
Lightweight Standards
Innovation
Data
Services

• To pioneer net-centric information sharing
  transformation we need your help to
• Implement the things we know how to do
• Address the remaining challenges
• Continue to innovate as technology changes and
  needs evolve

Progress is being made but your help is needed to
achieve effective military and government
operations
