Partnering with CDO to tackle AF Data Challenges
◼ Large number of legacy systems with numerous point-to-point
interfaces that are expensive to implement and maintain
◼ Antiquated, brittle architectures inhibit legacy system
enhancements required to make data accessible
◼ Many legacy systems employ “data jails” that prevent timely data
access that supports the analytics needs of Functional communities and senior leaders
◼ The time is now to employ new, commercially available data
services that will change the landscape of how data enables mission effectiveness
◼ BES Data Pilot now an operational platform being used by two
major orgs; signed out by USecAF as the AF Reference Architecture, DoD CDO reviewing as possible joint solution
