US Defense Intelligence Content Management Project Begins

McDonald Bradley, Inc. has been awarded a $2.8 million prime contract from the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) for the DoD Intelligence Information Systems (DoDIIS) Content Management Data Layer project. McDonald Bradley will deliver a design for a physical data layer that will encompass a data reference model, an enterprise content management strategy and architecture, and an enterprise content management prototype complete with detailed implementation specifications for full-scale enterprise deployment across the DoDIIS. Currently, no such strategy exists. Making it work will require the integration of commercial, Federal, Intelligence Community, and DoD technical standards and items in various disparate locations within a common business framework. The goal of the project is to improve intelligence data sharing and management across the intelligence community and DoD in support of national security. “The volume and types of data maintained across the defense intelligence community is extremely large, and we are pleased to have been selected for our expertise in service-oriented architectures to create this ambitious enterprise-wide model for data management,” said Kenneth Bartee, president and CEO, McDonald Bradley. “This project will create a virtual document repository that allows information to be created, managed, accessed and destroyed in an orderly, timely, and predictable manner.”
