Investment Strategies and Operational Analysis
The Investment Strategies (IS) technical area team is concerned with
understanding the benefits and direction of planned and future technology
investments by the government. Responsibilities include capturing information
on trends in technology investments, understanding the challenges associated
with investment decisions, and improving MITRE's abilities to support
technology investment studies. The latter includes methods and tools for
investment analysis, as well as supporting data bases. Presently, the
IS technical area team is researching the following broad areas: information
technology investments, militarily critical technology investments, and
aviation technology investments.
Enterprise Life Cycle Investment Management
Bruce Lamar, Principal Investigator
Location(s): Washington and Bedford
Problems
CEM's sponsors must make sound, results-oriented resource allocation and investment decisions across the full investment life cycle. Thus, in order to provide sponsors with a robust capability to achieve repeatable, traceable, defensible investment decisions, there is a strong need for an analytically based decision-making process that is consistent with the organization's existing enterprise architecture framework and products. Objectives
The first objective is to establish a "gold standard" for investment management analyses within the user, government oversight, and vendor communities. The second objective is to integrate and extend current investment analysis methods, tools, and processes to encompass the full investment management life cycle that is aligned with established enterprise architecture frameworks and products. Activities
We will first leverage FY03 efforts by completing the Coast Guard case study and applying the structure developed to other CEM sponsors. Second, we will build additional tool capabilities based on feedback from users (e.g., incorporate uncertainty, allocate resources among multiple portfolios, enhance visualization). We will disseminate the results in print media and through public outreach and professional conferences. Impact
First, this project will strengthen support for CEM's sponsors by helping decision makers find optimal portfolios throughout the investment life cycle. Second, it will support MITRE's continued leadership in government modernization efforts. Third, it will provide synergy with ongoing MITRE research efforts in enterprise architectures. Fourth, it will provide an opportunity for technology transfer.
