Enterprise Information Systems Architecture (EISA)

Our clients use a variety of information systems to meet their mission requirements. The framework necessary to make these complex systems work in concert is the Enterprise Information Systems Architecture. An effective EISA fuses the technology infrastructure with business objectives. Through analyzing the business process, organizational structure, and hardware/software environment, ASM develops an EISA that can be implemented, maintained, and enhanced as the organization or technology changes. In addition, an EISA has the following features and benefits:

• Common components which address the most broad possible range of common mission requirements.
• Consistent, integrated view of the organization's applications and data for all users.
• Practical mechanisms which facilitate adding new equipment and applications to existing systems.
• Modular, scalable configurations that conform to the overall architecture, yet meet the varied needs of diverse organizational units.
• Widely supported standards which promote open systems solutions, while making it easier to add new technologies and products as they develop.
• A common framework of standards, including security and core technologies, for all information platforms and systems.
• A strategic context within which the organization's management can manage automation projects and assess and manage their technology investments.
• Objectives and standards for ongoing information technology infrastructure implementation projects.
