U.S. Information Technology Spending By Industry

Breakout of U.S. Government IT Spending for 2008 (Projected)
DoD leads the way for all spending, especially for IT services. Local governments lag in software spending because they purchase fewer large enterprise applications
Includes hardware, software, and IT services spending only

Federal IT Market Trends After a dip in FY 2007 IT spending, FY 2008 IT spending is projected
to increase 2.6% to FY 2006 level The distribution of the FY 2008 federal IT spending portfolio will remain
identical to FY 2007 Another year of continuing resolutions (CRs) will keep spending down
for the first six months of the fiscal year Systems consolidation continues, causing downward pressure on
future IT spending as efficiencies spread OMB-managed Lines of Business are starting to get real traction Shared Service Centers (SSCs) created under Financial Management
(FM) Human Resources (HR) and Information Systems Security (ISS) Lines of Business will limit opportunities for vendors
DoD is just beginning use of capability portfolio management, which should eventually have long-term impact on IT spending trends

A Few SOA Project Examples VA
– VistA-Application Development for HealthVet ($129.5 million)
DHS– Citizenship and Immigration Services - USCIS – Biometrics projects
($6.2 million)
NOAA– Global Earth Observation Integrated Data Environment ($2.6 million)
SOA tends to be an iterative improvement, not an enterprise-wide
single project
Most SOA projects fall into the sub- $5 million range

What’s Driving SOA Interest?
All industries, not just government

The SOA Reality Check: Migration Funding Isn’t There (Interagency Funding Isn’t There Either)
Source = OMB, 2008 (for FY2009 Budget)
Enough to fund Government-
wide Migration to SOA?
Most steady state funding for FY 2008 is aimed at non-major IT investments or supporting technologies

Quotes from the Gov SOA Front Lines “The enterprise architecture program or framework provides a
context to understand the implementation of such a thing as SOA or business process management.”
- Jan Popkin, Business Process Modeling Expert
“Now we have an SOA environment where you can build and run net-centric capabilities. So we’re getting to the point where I’ll say, ‘If you really have a good solution, we can use SOA to hang your application on our network. You develop this solution on your own dime, but I’ll pay you for the use of it.”
- Gen. Charles Croom, Director, DISA
“Empowering users with Web 2.0 technologies forces you to ask the right data questions: What data should we expose? Is our data ready to be exposed? Is our data trustworthy?”
- Michael Daconta, Former Metadata Program Manager at DHS

Virtualization Can Aid SOAAnd Visa-versa
Virtualization in General:– Make a single resource (server, application,
storage device) function as multiple virtual resources
– Make multiple resources (network connections, processors, storage) function as a single resource
SOA-specific:–Resource virtualization
Simulation of combined resourcesBuilding multiple components into a virtual applicationCentralized data tagging and sharing
18
The Buzz on Cloud Computing
Leverages SOA and virtualization technologies
Cloud computing lets you worry about services, and not the technologies used to connect to those services
Separates application code from physical resources
Allows placement of infrastructure in lower cost areas (property, electricity)
Delivered services include application components and full applications, storage, processing power, and access to specific resources
But.. You have to trust the cloud
19
Application Development and Deployment – Top 7 Predictions
1. SOA will become more critical in forming the foundation for provisioning and consuming services in the cloud
2. BPM will be increasingly viewed as a must-have despite the gloomy economy – this will help drive SOA penetration
3. Event-driven architecture will not be just for tickers and tags – it will trickle down to multiple gov apps
4. SOA will stimulate on-demand application development, vendors will attempt to disrupt the status quo by pitching new services-based offerings
20
Application Development and Deployment – Top 7 Predictions (cont.)
5. Most leading software vendors will provide data-focused support for both virtualization and SOA
6. IT portfolio management will provide the missing application life-cycle management link — as SOA evolves IT governance will emerge out of necessity
7. Open source software will impact business decisions more and will lead to a mix of open and proprietary services across an SOA environment
21
Conclusion SOA migration will happen slowly, but accelerate as savings become
concrete
The tough stuff– SOA means trusting the partners within your architecture, and getting
service level agreements from them– Component reuse is often overestimated
The good stuff– Provides a quick way to offer new services, including vendor services– No more platform migration?
Current budgets may favor SOA for internal projects, but not necessarily cross-agency
The government computing cloud will continue to grow
