What is the importance of Enterprise Architecture (EA) within the FBI?
A. Enterprise Architecture (EA) serves as a blueprint for FBI technology systems, including hardware, software, networks and other technology capabilities. The EA provides the FBI with a comprehensive approach to management and development of the FBI’s information technology environment. The FBI EA Program is based on the approach defined in the CIO’s Federal Council publication, A Practical Guide to Federal Enterprise Architecture, which was developed under the leadership of the Government Accountability Office and the Office of Management and Budget.
