Strategic Direction for NOAA's Integrated Global Environmental Observation and Data Management System

Eric Miller, NOAA/NESDIS, Silver Spring, MD; and T. Adang and C. Killion

There are six key points to emphasize regarding NOAA's Strategic Direction for an Integrated Global Environmental Observation and Data Management System:

-NOAA and its partners recognize the social and economic imperatives that demand a fresh focus on Earth observations and the impact of those observations on societal benefits.

-The opportunity to affect those benefits led NOAA to establish an Integrated Global Environmental Observation and Data Management System as its top crosscutting priority and to direct the development of a Strategic Plan for such an integrated system.

-NOAA has established Strategic Goals for such an integrated system, and will develop performance measures linked to those Strategic Goals.

-NOAA envisions an Information Service Enterprise (ISE) as the necessary end state or target for establishing an efficient and effective integrated system.

-NOAA has developed an architecture process that will allow transitioning to the ISE.

-NOAA has made laudable initial progress in evolving to such an integrated system but needs a coherent road map to ensure arrival at the envisioned Information Service Enterprise.
