Business
One of the nine unified command JFCOM in the
Department of Defense, in world’s highly
developed nation, plays a role in transformation,
force provision, interoperability, joint training
and experimentation for the defense department
of the nation.
Challenge
Client has the requirement to provide visibility
of calendars, events, and meetings across the
enterprise to coordinate activities across the
command. The emergence of the Enterprise Portal
to support Horizontal Integration (HI) drives
the need for visibility of event and calendar
data in various contexts, each tailored to meet
the needs of different stakeholder groups. The
desired long-term solution needs to integrate
calendar information and scheduling processes
into the Command Portal, tying together, Microsoft
Exchange-based tools and other schedule-based
database systems.
Business Objectives
There are several business objectives that
client is trying to achieve related to calendaring:
 |
Make
event data visible to specific stakeholder
and user groups through enterprise Portal |
|
Increase visibility
and awareness of events in support of
horizontal integration (HI) including
external events |
|
Allow visibility
of schedule conflicts for long-term planning |
|
Aggregate data from
distributed calendars maintained by different
users into a single view, without requiring
re-keying of data |
|
Standardize scheduling
processes spread across |
|
Allow event data
to be displayed in a manner that is desired
by the user, filtered by date ranges,
by types of events, and by echelon |
|
The ability for an
individual to receive notification of
categorized events |
|
Provide the required
capabilities with a solution that minimizes
the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) over
time |
