Because every government agency has a number of responsibilities that impact the lives of several citizens, IT plays an important role in ensuring their operations run smoothly and are effectively executed.

With a $1.4 billion budget, one transportation agency needed to accomplish a wide range of its responsibilities including road and bridge maintenance, transportation planning, data collection and evaluation, project management, and contract compliance. To ensure all of these processes ran smoothly, department officials decided to implement an Enterprise Architecture (EA) solution to optimize the agency’s portfolio of processes, information applications and technology.

The agency’s EA initiative began when officials embarked on an intensive strategic planning effort. The team wanted to capture data and information gleaned during the planning process for use in the future. They realized that Metastorm ProVision® was the perfect structure for doing this.

Whether the agency was working on an engineering design application that affected state highway designs, or a financial application that ensures contractors and vendors are paid in a timely manner, Metastorm ProVision provided a methodology mechanism that allowed internal business users to understand the IT and the IT systems and add value to the process of selecting and integrating application systems that evidentially supported their citizenry.

As a result, the transportation department was able to quickly develop context charts, data models, work flows, reporting views/“radar charts” that allowed managers to integrate strategic IT planning with operational plans and budgets and better manage the entire agency.
