Army Capabilities Integration Center Garners Top Enterprise Architecture Award A,A TheA,A Army Capabilities Integration Center (ARCIC) recently won the government category of the 2010 Defense Enterprise Architecture Achievement (DEAA) Award, presented by the Department of Defense, in conjunction with the Association for Enterprise Information. ARCIC was recognized for the Capability Architecture Development and Integration Environment (CADIE), with an operational impact theme of "Executing the right architecture is saving lives." The award was based on the project's significant contributions to advancing the state of policy and practice for enterprise architecture as an enabler of information. A,A
"Access to Iraq and Afghanistan by architects is becoming the norm versus the exception, because of the ability to rapidly access data and answer the questions being posed by the war fighters on the ground," according to Ron Vandiver, Chief, Architecture Integration and Management Division, who spearheaded the project. "CADIE is enabling deliberate and accelerated processes with data that link operational requirements to doctrine, organization, training, materiel, leadership and education, personnel, and facilities (DOTLMPF) solutions."

CADIE provides a robust collaborative and common enterprise environment for architecture-related efforts in support of critical institutional processes throughout the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) Centers of Excellence and with Army/Joint/Department of Defense (DOD) partners. CADIE comprises web-based applications and tools with multiple integrated databases, allowing greater customer support and reduced costs across the architecture community, and serving as a primary source of authoritative data.

CADIE supports DoD's net-centric vision by ensuring Army architecture data is visible, accessible, understandable, trusted, interoperable, responsive, and institutionalized across the Army, DoD, and its Joint and interagency partners.
