Challenge

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is constantly adopting improved means to manage and deliver data and information to citizens and businesses in the areas of weather and water forecasts, search and rescue, climate change, environmental images, coastal maps, and ecosystems management. NOAA's current IT environment, contracting, and governance practices, however, limits the organization's ability to readily leverage economies of scale and provide end-to-end visibility into IT operations.

Solution

To meet this challenge, the NOAA Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) and Line Office OCIOs work closely with business partners throughout NOAA, the Department of Commerce, other government agencies, and industry to ensure the use of leading-edge technology to better meet these needs and resulting implications for national security. Additionally, a new contract vehicle will enable the IT organizations at NOAA to partner with industry with the goal of acquiring a broad range of cost-effective, enterprise-wide IT solutions to improve IT service delivery and support via the following goals:

Goals

Goal 1: Establish secure, enterprise-wide IT standardized solutions
Goal 2: Enable the NOAA mission
Goal 3: Maximize agility and innovation in IT service delivery
Goal 4: Deliver cost-effective IT solutions
Goal 5: Foster strategic partnerships
Goal 6: Create effective IT governance
