The BLM's architecture provides an integrated view of business processes, data, applications, and technology. The architecture is described using the Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA) reference models which provide a common taxonomy for use in Capital Planning & Investment Control (CPIC), security and architecture. The technical architecture utilizes the Service Reference Model (SRM) of the FEA.
The role of the Technology architect within the BLM Enterprise Architecture (BEA) Team is to research and recommend standards for products and services for the BLM. These Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA)-classified standards are maintained within a combination of the Department of Interior (DOI) Technical Reference Manual (TRM) and the BLM's ETRM (an exceptions document). The TRM is policy-based guidance that is required to be used when purchasing or using technologies and products.
NOTE: Architecture issues are addressed real-time. It was decided that it is not necessary to formalize a new review board. All reviews will be conducted prior to MNS approval in accordance with standing CPIC Governance.
