WorkLenz delivers FEA mapping to eliminate redundancies and provide a framework for analysis

Métier, Ltd, an innovator in statistical project portfolio management software and services, today announced that its WorkLenz software now allows point-and-click investment mapping to the reference models of the Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA). The WorkLenz FEA Assessment is an outgrowth of Métier's recently announced portfolio assessment engine. The FEA Assessment provides insight into redundant investments for consolidation and also drives performance improvements within and across agencies.

Providing a framework for federal agency investments, the FEA was designed as the cornerstone of effective E-Government within the President's Management Agenda. The FEA identifies mission critical investments and ensures that efforts are not duplicated by multiple investments. From the Business Reference Model to the Technical Reference Model, the FEA can now be linked across the project portfolio and cross-tabulated within WorkLenz. Combined with business case information (e.g. Office of Management and Budget [OMB] Exhibit 53 data), agency executives will have multiple views for objective decision support. The simple survey-based structure of the FEA Assessment within WorkLenz eases data collection. The assessments within WorkLenz will account for changes as the models of the FEA evolve. This allows for a continuous mapping of investments to the specifications of OMB.

"WorkLenz structures an agency's investments and project portfolio according to its missions, goals and strategic initiatives," said Douglas Clark, chief executive officer of Métier, Ltd. "By providing a new view of investments within the FEA structure, WorkLenz delivers insight into investment budget and schedule and offers objective measures of performance. This insight allows users to assess how they might benefit from merging investments or collaboration with colleague agencies. This innovative approach provides a basis for statistical modeling, ultimately highlighting opportunities for enhanced process, infrastructure and performance."
