How we do ‘Integration’ today

Force Management example

Too many systems, too hard to operate, too expensive to maintain

Air Force Information and Services Strategy


Information as an Asset

Information is an asset so long as it has positive value to the enterprise When the asset ceases to have value, it becomes a burden

and needs to be divested

Information is a time-dependent asset Value is retained over a defined time period, then

diminishes

Value is dependent on the ability of the enterprise to discover, access, understand, and consume the information
