BMT Hi-Q Sigma Provides Enterprise Architecture to JAMES
29-Mar-2010
BMT Hi-Q Sigma has been contracted by the MOD's Joint Asset Management and Engineering Solution (JAMES) project team to establish an enterprise architecture that will support the development of its JAMES Land solution.
The JAMES Land tool supports asset management services across UK Land Forces equipment. BMT Hi-Q Sigma established business processes and documented these within MODAF, the UK Ministry of Defence Architecture Framework, along with other elements such as business and system requirements, providing users with a more responsive reporting and data management capability. Test Scenarios were defined to guide the User Testing process and to validate the solution against the business needs.
The benefit of this work is in ensuring coherence at all levels of the user requirement and establishing a common and agreed view of the business needs. This is especially helpful in making sure that the application development team understand the business perspective and design a physical solution that meets the true business needs. The architecture also benefited testers, trainers, policy makers, the JAMES project team and the solution provider by providing an intelligent and automated querying and reporting capability.
Lt Col Struan Robertson, JAMES LAND SO1, said: "The BMT Hi-Q Sigma team proved to be a most valuable asset to the JAMES project. They demonstrated a consistent and diligent approach in understanding our requirements and then providing a suitable solution to assist in realising them. I was especially impressed by their commitment to ensuring that the best interests of the project were being met."
