Introduction

Information Technology’s (IT) objective is to provide our customers with services and solutions that facilitate their day-to-day operations, helping each customer to be successful in meeting their business goals and objectives. Further, it is our intent to meet this objective with services and solutions that adhere to industry standards and best practices, delivered by our staff of talented and skilled people who are attuned to our customers’ businesses and needs and who strive to deliver exceptional services.

The goal of this strategic plan is to put forward a roadmap for the next three years (2012-2014) that assists us in identifying the technologies and solutions needed to better support the strategic direction of the Savannah River Site (SRS). Through interacting and listening to Site management and our customers and through careful review of the Enterprise•SRS (e•SRS), DOE, and NNSA Strategic Plans, we developed our roadmap, aligned with e•SRS, DOE and NNSA. We used recently completed projects and those in progress and the knowledge and experience of our workforce to gage our capabilities and to understand where we have needs. Throughout the development of this plan, a key theme emerged-- IT must be agile, flexible, efficient, and cost-effective if we are to be worthy partners in helping SRS achieve success.

In addition to the IT roadmap for the next three years, the IT mission, vision, key goals and focus areas are discussed. These are, in large part, the foundation for the roadmap. This foundation, coupled with the alignment with our customers’ plans, ensures that our strategic roadmap is valid and focused appropriately.

I appreciate the input from our customers and from IT personnel in the development of this plan. I look forward to our future successes together as we continue the execution of our roadmap to an IT organization that truly helps to enable the strategic direction of SRS.

IT Strategic Plan Synopsis

The e•SRS Strategic Plan states that e•SRS must “operate as an integrated and connected enterprise that allows flexibility and talents of diverse organizations” and function “in a cohesive and connected manner.” To achieve this vision, SRNS-IT developed a technical roadmap with initiatives aligned to deliver timely IT solutions to support the e•SRS mission objectives, and establish the Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) as the “central hub” for e•SRS business. This plan proposes that by the start of 2015, e•SRS workers have access to SRS data from anywhere, at anytime, using any device. An e•SRS team member should be able to collaborate with partners and stakeholders from across the world, utilizing efficient work flows and processes, innovative IT solutions.

The IT Technical Roadmap to achieve this objective is a three-year effort that assumes no major funding or security issues.

In Year One, the focus will be to:

1. Complete a network architecture plan to implement a higher capacity open network infrastructure that complements the secure SRSnet.

2. Select and begin implementation of transformational technologies and strategies to enhance worker mobility and flexibility by:

• Identifying thin client and hosted, virtual desktop solutions.

• Developing policies and infrastructure changes to permit Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and Bring Your Own Computer (BYOC)

• Defining the Microsoft standard-based solution to promote worker collaboration and document sharing.

3. Adopt a supporting business framework to drive towards full integration with One-NNSA’s objective to have a single, integrated enterprise, along with endpoint independence (not desktop centric computing).

4. Define network requirements and alternatives to deliver a virtual network to integrate and access Process Control Systems and data.

Year Two focus will be to:

1. Enable enhanced worker and team member mobility with wider and more comprehensive use of smart phones and mobile tablets.

2. Transition towards Desktop and Applications as services with the implementation of thin client capability, virtual desktop, provisioning of Microsoft stack solution, and cloud strategy alternatives.

3. Transition to DOE and National Security Enterprise (NSE) standard service portfolios


5

and application stacks that are advantageous to SRS. Align internal SRS application solutions with accepted external cloud-based solutions.

4. Enhance collaboration by completing deployment of Video Infrastructure and Desktop Video Conferencing.

5. Team with SRNS organizations to identify Business Process Improvement candidates.

6. Implement the Process Control Systems Virtual Network Connectivity to enable on-site and off-site real-time access to process control data.

Year Three focus will be to:

1. Complete transformation towards consumerization (allow employees to bring personal technology into the enterprise – BYOD & BYOC).

2. Complete transition to DOE and NSE standard service portfolios and application stacks that are appropriate and adaptive to support the e•SRS mobile worker with unified communications.

3. Enable transformation of business workflow automation and process improvements.

4. Continue transition of legacy applications to new App Model to facilitate delivery of enterprise application functionality to wireless devices.

The complete IT Technical Roadmap and the specific initiatives for each year are shown in the charts that follow. Each initiative mentioned in the IT Roadmap was aligned to focus areas that provide linkage back to the DOE, NNSA and e•SRS strategic plan objectives from an IT perspective. These IT focus areas are:

• People

• Collaboration

• Knowledge Analytics

• Infrastructure

• Cyber Security

• Transparency

• Process & Procedures

A Technology Timeline captures the development and delivery targets for technology capabilities from 2012 to 2014. The IT mission and vision statements, statements collected from SRNS senior management, IT Staff, and other SRS CIOs are provided and validate the roadmap. The IT Roadmap indeed provides the path for SRNS-IT to follow in supporting the operations of our customers and the e•SRS vision.

IT Organization

The SRNS-IT organization is currently structured to deliver the infrastructure and services our customers need. We will adjust this organizational structure in the future as required to meet our goal of helping our customers to be successful.

The most recent adjustment occurred in FY 2012. To ensure that the organization was able to respond in an accelerated and effective manner when called upon to evaluate and implement new technologies to support new missions, IT re-organized. A sub-set of experts from across IT were reassigned to form the IT Strategic Technology & Compliance Team within the Enterprise Applications & Innovation Group. This change is removing organizational barriers and integrating the key IT disciplines into one group. This new structure is allowing IT to function effectively and concurrently to determine the business and technical feasibility of new technology while planning the implementation of new and enhanced technical solutions.


7

Our Mission is:

Relentless pursuit of reliable operations and timely delivery of information technology services required to support SRS mission and business initiatives executed by both on-site and off-site entities.

Other key goals and focuses regarding oversight, configuration and modernization of IT resources in support of e•SRS mission path and vision include:

1. Enabling Business Transformation with Technology

2. Increasing Worker Productivity

3. Providing Cost-Effective IT Products & Services

4. Balancing Compliance, Security, Performance, Cost, and Customer Satisfaction

5. Investing in IT Professional Development; Growing and Replenishing the Talent Required for Future Efforts.

Our Vision is:

Be forward thinking to rapidly formulate innovation and meaningful technical solutions created today that will be timely-delivered and cost-effective in solving problems and supporting our SRS customer needs tomorrow.

SRNS and IT leadership and partner CIOs share a common vision

“IT must provide the delivery of new generation services in support of SRNS goals for e•SRS growth, mission execution, workforce appeal and community engagement.”

— Dwayne Wilson, President, SRNS

“It is vital that we have high quality communications to support an increasingly mobile workforce.”

— Alice Doswell, ESS&H

“...need a vision of differentiation to support the e•SRS vision – must change from one solution fits all service model to delivering many solutions to different clients.”

— Beth Bilson, Support Services & Chief Business

“SRNL is dependent on having a more open environment along with effective usage of collaboration technologies to attract and retain the professional resources and partnerships required to accomplish the e•SRS missions.”

— Dave Eyler, SRNL

“IT needs to deliver solutions that enable the virtual worker using their device to have access to site information and systems anywhere, anytime, and easily participate in virtual meetings, such as, VTCs, visual presentations, etc.”

— Dennis Donati, NNSA Operations/Programs

“...leverage our new Enterprise System to achieve the full benefits of modernized processes for the site.”

— Jim Hanna, Corporate Services

SRNS Leadership Team


21

“SRNS-IT is committed to leveraging information technology to continue to stimulate the exchange and creation of applications and knowledge while fostering an open and collaborative environment.”

— Valerie Perez. CIO

“Providing appropriate technologies and infrastructure are key to enabling future site initiatives.”

— Susan Messick, Enterprise Operations

“Providing increasingly rapid, just-in-time access to the wealth of SRS information managed by IT will continue to be a focus to help facilitate the success of enterprise•SRS.”

— Janet Harrison, Enterprise Controls & Support Services

“IT must be recognized as a catalyst for delivering innovative and cost effective technical solution today that support e•SRS needs of tomorrow.”

— Jeff Krohn, Enterprise Applications & Innovation

“Sufficient technologies are commercially available to significantly advance SRNS facilities and infrastructure. Our challenge will be to implement these technologies within our regulatory environment.”

— Ivan Lewis, Process Control & Automation

“Additional delivery of secure IT mobility solutions and capabilities will be required to support the enterprise•SRS business model and the scope of its initiatives.”

— John Poe, Enterprise Cyber Security

“…maximizing delivery of business functionality via Enterprise level COTS is our focus; standardizing development tools, databases, and infrastructure will facilitate development of systems and functions that will be sustainable.”

— John Thomas, Enterprise Applications

SRNS-IT Leadership


22

Partner CIOs

“It is important that new SRR and SRNS IT efforts be aligned to benefit the entire Savannah River Site.”

— Frank Racel, Savannah River Remediation

“The use of a standardized tablet for outside use would promote electronic capture of key document information in several of our work environments.”

— Pamela Livingston Spruill, Wackenhut Security Inc.

“Providing SRNL with a collaborative research environment is a key initiative for our future that makes it possible to work with other national laboratories, academia, and industry for developing and implementing innovative solutions for our national missions.”

— Mary Harris, Savannah River National Laboratory

“The site IT organizations need to have on-going collaboration to leverage our knowledge and solutions to reduce costs of operations, support the mobile worker, deliver efficient work processes, and provide innovative access to information.”

— Bobby Jones, Shaw Areva MOX Services


23

Information Technology Strategic Background

As this plan was developed, IT brought forth goals established in the 2009–2013 Strategic Initiatives Document, “Accelerating SRS Missions and Reducing Infrastructure through Innovative Computing and Communications”. Furthermore, to ensure that IT is in alignment with SRS planning, the DOE, National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), and e•SRS Strategic Plans were analyzed.

Considering these three plans jointly surfaces a common agenda:

• Maintain cost-effective measurement of the people, assets, and infrastructure which have been provided by the taxpayers of the country

• Protect the environment and reduce radioactive waste • Enhance the national security and management of the nuclear weapons stockpiles and

disposition of nuclear materials • Accelerate the deployment of nuclear and clean energy initiatives through public and

private partnerships

Knowledge gained from these SRS plans and the status of previous IT strategic efforts is essential in the future planning of our workforce and technology resources. The IT goal is to be aligned with strategies established by our DOE and NNSA customers. Our initiatives and baseline resources must complement, support, and achieve the strategic goals of these primary customers.

Following is a brief summary of each of the SRS Strategic Plans that were reviewed and analyzed. When considered together, we were able to identify common IT Focus Areas,which are listed and defined. Next key strategic objectives and IT related statements identified in these plans were aligned to the common IT focus areas defined during the analysis process. When the three-year IT Roadmap initiatives were developed, each initiative was aligned to these IT Focus Areas to confirm linkage and support to the major plans.


24

2012 IT Focus Areas

The following IT focus areas were identified when analyzing the DOE, NNSA and e•SRS objectives jointly from an IT perspective.

People People are a critical part of the e•SRS mission and business. Increasingly, the work force at SRS is aging and retiring. Many of these individuals have developed business knowledge and expertise that will be lost unless new personnel are brought in, trained, and retained. Therefore, it is important to develop an environment that attracts professional talent and increases the workforce productivity.

Collaboration Collaboration is another catalyst to innovation and problem solving. Currently, collaboration tools available to site personnel are limited. SRNS-IT recognizes the need to vastly improve the ability of site professional workers to create flexible, collaborative environments that offer a wide variety of modern mechanisms.

Knowledge Analytics Knowledge drives understanding, but in a world of increasingly large data sets and competing priorities, information can be overlooked when analytical capabilities are overwhelmed. Improvements in analytics will drive SRNS’s ability to identify obstacles, opportunities and ways to cost-effectively utilize site resources.

Infrastructure Significant focus will continue on critical infrastructure in an effort to modernize capabilities across the site. New technology will enable a more mobile and connected workforce. Efforts to improve security while reducing costs associated with maintaining multiple networks will ensure that SRS’s ongoing investments in Infrastructure keep pace with site needs and target aging network and computing infrastructure segments for replacement or retirement.

Cyber Security Cyber Security is a critical element for e•SRS. e•SRS ability to protect its infrastructure, systems, and information is paramount to e•SRS mission success. e•SRS focus remains clear in various ongoing efforts to improve its overall security posture, its ability to identify and respond to security events, and its ability to protect information assets.

Transparency Keeping the public informed and aware of how their tax dollars are being invested is an important segment of the e•SRS mission process. SRNS-IT needs to provide the enterprise content management (ECM) tools required to effectively manage documents and records, thereby facilitating an efficient process for those responsible to determine whether certain information merits public disclosure.

Process & Procedure e•SRS operates some of the most complex equipment and facilities in the world. Without rigorous control & execution of processes and procedures, e•SRS couldn’t safely, securely and effectively perform its mission. SRNS-IT focus in this area extends to innovating the methods associated with the publication, delivery, interaction, and data collection required to support the processes & procedures at the site.

enterprise•SRS 2012 Strategic Plan

The enterprise•SRS Strategic Plan emphasizes SRS must pursue, in an accelerated mode, new and important national missions. Significant importance is placed on moving SRS site resources towards this new path of national service. The new strategic direction for SRS declares that the Savannah River National Lab “become the central hub as SRS expands into business segments that capitalize on historic SRS competencies and facilities.” In conjunction, SRNS-IT must position itself accordingly and function in an accelerated mode when called upon to evaluate and implement new technologies. SRNS-IT must support new site missions as well as research partnerships from an IT prospective that will include internal and external site business entities. The future focus of enterprise•SRS will follow these three business segments:

Environmental Stewardship Transform liabilities into assets at SRS. Reduce the environmental legacy of nuclear materials and radioactive waste in a way that utilizes technology. Provide innovative solutions to speed up and improve SRS processing. Leverage these solutions with other DOE and non-DOE locations and customers.

Clean Energy Accelerate the deployment of nuclear energy through public & private partnerships that solve critical challenges related to nuclear material storage, processing and disposition. Use SRS broader expertise to support regional energy sustainability while maintaining environmental health.

National Security Enhance national security by providing innovative, customized solutions to the challenges of global nuclear nonproliferation, nuclear detection, counter proliferation, deterrence and threat reduction. Achieve these intentions through the application of unique nuclear materials, technology and systems assets at SRS.

Attachment A — Accelerating SRS Missions and Reducing Infrastructure through Innovative Computing and Communications

Looking back to 2009, major portions of the Department of Energy (DOE) Environmental Management programs to reduce the site facility footprint and associated waste were concluding. Remaining site assets and operational areas needed to be repositioned in order to support future missions and new research partnerships that extend beyond the SRS boundaries. In recognition of this new direction, the Savannah River Nuclear Solutions (SRNS) Information Technology (IT) organization, working in conjunction with their DOE counterparts, began planning for these changes. The “Accelerating SRS Missions and Reducing Infrastructure through Innovative Computing and Communications” Strategic Initiative Document was developed to identify and prioritize key initiatives, (a listing of initiatives with current status follows), that would upgrade the site network and communications infrastructure. These efforts laid the groundwork to deliver key technologies that promoted improvements in worker productivity and collaboration amongst scientific, technical and engineering professionals on and off site. The three primary objectives as stated in this plan were:

Flexible Infrastructure

This initiative reduces infrastructure required to maintain computing and communications in the future as the site footprint continues to shrink. Long-term, a flexible infrastructure positions SRS as a leader in the energy efficient computing technologies giving all the tenants greater capacity to accelerate missions while promoting collaboration with research partners and external customers beyond the SRS boundary for future missions.

Sustainable Platform

This initiative focuses on security of the platform, implementing cost effective systems and processes, while promoting collaboration both within SRS and with external stakeholders for both current and future missions. A sustainable and up to date technology platform is critical for attracting new missions to SRS, enabling SRNL with the computing power to compete and collaborate with other national laboratories and attract and maintain a younger workforce.

Knowledge Management

This initiative focuses on promoting the capture and sharing of knowledge across SRS and the DOE complex through enhanced document control, the development of an enterprise content management system and a knowledge resource management capability. SRS is a unique environment with processes and systems that exist at very few places in the world. A robust system for collecting, maintaining, and sharing information is essential for preservation. There is a near-term need to convert all of SRS knowledge into a recoverable future form to preserve scientific, environmental, engineering, and nuclear operational knowledge for the future.

Attachment B — Recent Accomplishments

The following are some key projects accomplished in the past 18 months that are linked to Accelerating SRS Missions and Reducing Infrastructure through Innovative Computing and Communications, and other project accomplishments that were achieved and supported operational process efficiencies and increase worker productivity.

• Infrastructure upgrades to the site network circuitry which included new fiber, switches and firewalls to support video teleconferencing (VTC) and collaboration initiatives in selected site conference rooms and offices with on-site and off-site participants.

• Implemented Voice Over IP (VOIP) capability in the SRNS Benefits Office, the DOE Help- Desk, the SRNS Help-Desk, and the on-site Verizon support office.

• Completed the investigation and preliminary testing of collaboration technologies and security requirements to enable video conferencing in selected site locations that will further enhance worker productivity and reduce operating costs.

• Implemented a Single Sign-on process that modernized and simplified the sign-on process and saved site worker time to access enterprise level desktop applications.

• Implemented robust remote access technology to enable workers to use their home personal computers to access site desktop and enterprise applications. This capability facilitates site workers in timely accomplishment of their work assignments, and to communicate with and monitor on-going operations.

• Implemented of the National Lambda Rail 10 Gigabyte Network to enable the Science, Technology and Engineering professionals of Savannah River National Labs (SRNL). This implementation supports SRNL’s collaboration and exchange of research data with fellow professionals at the DOE national labs, various energy industries, and the national universities and colleges. This 10GB circuitry also has connectivity to the South Carolina Light Rail, Internet 2, and provides an alternative route for site Internet connectivity.

• Addition of “Sametime” feature to the Lotus Notes E-mail platform to provide instant messaging and worker presence information to facilitate worker communications and collaboration.

• Sizeable footprints of paper records and associated equipment were eliminated with an increase use and availability of electronic records that will provide an ongoing reduction in document control and records management process costs.

• SRNL acquired a Portable On-Demand (POD) computing shell for their Green Computing effort.


35

• Infrastructure upgrades occurred for selected SRNL conference rooms to facilitate VTC and collaboration partnerships.

• SRNS-IT moved the classified vault computing operations from an obsolete A-area basement facility to a secure and enhanced location in the Central Computing Facility.

• Implemented improved cyber security monitoring capability to identify, analyze and investigate network and data threats.

• Tritium Automate Reservoir Management System (ARMS) upgrade project milestones were completed ahead of schedule and provided improvements to the entrance and exit security flow process for Tritium operating facilities.

• SRNS-IT implemented wireless technology in the Tritium production limited areas that delivered enhanced worker safety and productivity.

• Implementation of the Business Process Modernization Project (BPMP), replaced technical and functional obsolete legacy finance and supply chain applications with current commercial available software solutions. This significantly improved the process in the acquisition, receiving, payment and management of vendor product and services required to support the site operations and missions.

• Eliminated the IBM mainframes and associated peripherals footprint.

• SRNS-Document Control implemented an electronic vendor document processing workflow in the Document Control Register (DCR) System. This process provided a substantial reduction in time for SRNS or SRNS’s designated design agency to review, approve, and return supplier documents (drawings, specifications, plans, manuals, quality control documents, etc), helping to reduce project costs and schedule delays.
