  2. Agenda Strategic Objectives/Priorities High Priority Project Activities Role and Function of the IIOG Next Meeting

  3. A Brief Recap • 2005-2006: Executive Telecommunications Inter-agency Management Council • Proposed partnership of USDA, DOI, DHS, and States, lead by USDA/DOI CIOs • Several preliminary meetings • Final draft charter • Membership of: • USDA: 12 agencies • DOI: 9 agencies • DHS: 3 agencies • States: 50 • August 2007: Boise Sojourn • CIOs and staff at NIFC and visit to large fire incident base • Greater understand of user needs/requirements (especially fire) • Realization of lack of governance structure to link users and providers

  4. 2008: follow up meetings and discussions • September: Interagency Communications Summit • January 2009: IIOG charter signed • Decision to self charter • Program manager • Agenda of high priority projects and activities • August 2009: Field Trip to Central Oregon – law enforcement and fire business • August 2010: Field Trip to MN/WI – law enforcement and state partnership issues

  5. Goals, Role & Function of the IIOG • Goals • Integrated, seamless network services and access for all accredited users • Integrated, seamless reliable land mobile radio services and coverage that allow communication to meet program business requirements • Cooperative, combined well maintained radio facilities jointly operated and maintained by benefitting agencies • Use of proven technologies that allow communication among the land managing agencies and with federal and non-federal partners • Integrated maintenance and management of network and land mobile radio networks and equipment • Best practices for planning, investment, budgeting, and management of network and land mobile radio capabilities

  6. Membership: DOI/USDA CIOs, agency CIOs, USDA/DOI “mission” executives (fire/LE) = 11 • Roles: • sponsors projects that promote its vision, using the resources of its members. Projects are designed to demonstrate feasibility; implementation of enterprise or program solutions based on the results of projects is the responsibility of agencies and programs • provides a forum for the resolution of policy and program differences that impede its vision and goals, and to coordinate the development and implementation of policies and programs that enable the vision and goals.

  7. What’s Worked with the IIOG • Forum for identifying user requirements • Forum for communication between Departments • Positive message to users that leadership cares • Completed projects: thin client demonstration for fire; aviation radio toning, credentials MOU • Initiated projects: access/authentication, Central Oregon demonstration • Program Manager

  8. What Hasn’t Worked • Uneven participation by principals • Lack of follow through on commitments – funding, staffing • Overly ambitious agenda • Failure to use the structure – independent and uncoordinated agency activities

  9. Changing Environment • DOI IT Transformation – changes roles and functions of CIOs • DOI Radio Transformation – enterprise approach with opportunities for USDA and other partnerships • HSPD-12 requirements and opportunities • Universal broadband availability and other technologies

  10. Strategic Priorities • Interconnectivity of systems • “one computer” on desks • Recognition of credentials • Sharing of radio/wireless infrastructure & services • Leveraging new technologies

  11. High Priority Project Activities • Interconnectivity • Access Authentication & Accepting Federal Credentials • Credentials MOU Implementation • Logical Access for Non-Federal Personnel • Radio/Wireless Communication • Combined service/infrastructure/program management • Digital Migration strategy • ROIP • Use of Broadband

  12. Dispatch Improvement • Communications • Consolidation of facilities • Business applications • Staffing

  13. Interconnectivity • Requires integrated, multi-agency effort • Leverage Access/Authentication work • ACTION: create integrated work group to coordinate and standardize efforts

  14. Radio/Wireless Communication • DOI Radio Transformation project as vehicle • Partner with USDA/FS on strategy and implementation • Seek additional partners (DHS, others) • ACTIONS: • Project governance and implementation shared between DOI & USDA • Central Oregon alternative selection and implementation

  15. Dispatch Improvement • Charter signed by heads of USFS, BLM, NPS, FWS, BIA • Two pilot optimization projects underway: SW and California – leading to “toolbox” for broader use • Draft strategic plan • Application investments: fire reporting (in progress); computer-aided dispatch (concept) • Interim program coordinator • ACTION: (1) monitor pilots; (2) develop integrated governance structure to guide future

  16. Discussion • Are these the major issues? • What’s missing? • What’s needed to accomplish? • NOTE: IIOG organization/function discussion to follow…..

  17. How Do We Proceed? • Issues: • Purpose, functions, roles • Membership and structure • Matching demand and supply (desires and resources) • Equitable contributions

  18. Options • Status Quo • Status Quo Streamlined • Formal Charter and Structure • Disband

  19. Status Quo • Pros • Current charter, commitments, members • Cons • Uncertain commitments, resource problems, unwieldy

  20. Status Quo - Streamlined • Summary • Membership limited to Dept. CIOs, mission exec’s = 5 (DOI mission = 1; FS mission =2); chaired by one of the 5 • PM and approach remain same • Pros • Smaller, more focused group • Cons • Uncertain commitments, resource problems

  21. Formal Charter & Structure • Summary • Secretarial Charter • Executive Steering Committee of 5 (see “Streamlined) • Senior Working Group of managers representing the ESC members • Program Manager • Formal agency resource commitments

  22. Pros • Greater status/recognition • Smaller, more focused leadership group • Reliance on senior managers to ensure project success • Resource commitments • Cons • Signature requirements • Resource commitments

  23. Disband • Summary • Use informal and ad hoc coordination mechanisms within Departments and between Departments • Pros • Agency-specific and informal governance is sufficient • Cons • Lack of ability to coordinate effectively; slows progress • Signal to field/users of lack of commitment

  24. Discussion/Resolution

  25. Next Steps • Follow-up from this meeting • Next meetings • 2011 Field Visit?
