NASCIO plans to expand its EA program funding to include agencies outside of the justice community; such as environmental protection, health and human services, homeland security, and transportation. Enterprise architecture will provide for interoperability to the various layers of government by encompassing state, local, tribal and federal agencies.
The focus of the EA program is to provide a portfolio of products & services that will aid the states in providing excellence in government through quality business practices, information management and technology policy.
