7. NMCI Current Status • First USMC seats AOR’d 24 March • 15 Marine Corps sites AOR’d as of 3 June • 16,300 seats • AORs will continue through FY03 and into FY04 • Units deployed in support of OIF won’t AOR until they return • First cutovers anticipated by the end of Sep ‘03 • Dependant on IOC of USMC Interim NOC at Quantico • Issues • Quantico NOC • Legacy Applications

8. Leveraging NMCI • Common IT Services • Shared Data Environment • Legacy Applications • Enterprise Portal Framework

9. USMC Common IT Services • Objective: Design and implement an agile, responsive set of common IT services within enterprise governance structure and supported by policy. • Enable: • Effective management of infrastructure (centralized view of the Enterprise) • IT & Data/App/Web Hosting centers • Robust, secure IT services • Rapid deployment of portal and other information presentation mechanisms while maintaining data/information ownership.

10. C2 Information and as needed RM information C2 and RM Information C2 and RM Information Garrison IT Centers C2 and RM Information Data Center Application Hosting Center C2 IT Centers IT-21 Centers To-Be ArchitectureCommon IT Infrastructure • CONCEPT • All components in one set of layered views. • Maps operational activities to organizations, service sets, infrastructure components and standards. • Depicts the “seams” of system interoperability. Representation spans C2, Garrison, afloat and Joint IT requirements

NMCI (Example Camp Pendleton) (Example MARCORSYSCOM) Gives a layered view of the operational, system, and technical architecture components, and a clearer understanding of infrastructure requirements

13. DECISION SUPPORT KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT INFORMATION MANAGEMENT DATAMANAGEMENT Enterprise Shared Data Environment (ESDE) Data is a fundamental building block of interoperability, information management, knowledge management, and the design of efficient, non duplicative systems

14. Data Stores/Warehouses which allows Marine Corps Enterprise Data to be accessible from a single computer and viewed, analyzed, and understood in an integrated fashion The ESDE Defined Warfighting Supporting Control Command & Force Protection Maneuver INTEL Logistics Fires Human Resources R&D and Science Management & Admin Training & Education Financial Management Management Information Resources

15. Why SDE? • Seamless, transparent exchange of information • Increase awareness and quality of data assets • Promote sharing of authoritative data source • Establish foundation for Information/Knowledge management/decision support tools • Integrated data provides new insights • Reduce data costs through consolidation • Reduce the "Time to Market" for application development and fielding • Enhance Flexible Information Fusion

17. Conceptual Environment • Net Centric Conceptual Model Leading to IT/DB Consolidation and Information Exposure (Integrated) • Consistent with GIG Enterprise Services (GES), Horizontal Fusion Enterprise Services (HFES) Segmentation into Communities Of Interest (COI) Local as Needed

18. Consolidation/Rationalization Enterprise Future Emphasis On Enterprise Regional Campus Local Prior Emphasis On Local

19. Legacy Applications • Software application inventory • CIO/Systems Command Lead • 8000 reduced to 500 • Certification process • Software Baseline • Functional Area Managers (FAMS) • Sponsorship/accountability • Enterprise Application Portfolio Management • Rationalize applications • Institutionalize process

20. USMC Enterprise Portal • Single access point to enterprise information • Aggregation of IT services • Portal Objectives: • Standardization • Interoperability • Consistency • Usability • Information quality • Lower total cost of ownership • Extensibility

21. Current Portal Tasks • CMC/HQMC Portal • Assess options to develop, operate, & maintain portal for HQMC meeting CMC requirements for information aggregation, application integration, and workflow enhancement • Enterprise Portal Architecture & Policy • Assuming no enforceable single-vendor Portal Engine standard, defining physical & logical options for integration framework meeting USMC objectives and aligned with DON/DOD policy
