Designing Governance: Sunstone’s Role in Developing frameworks for the Single Information Environment

Enterprise IT governance

Client: Defence

Challenge: The SIE SOM framework had to be developed to cover all of the required policies, standards, process and practices to guide provision of ICT services on the SIE. It also had to be capable of monitoring of the governance to report on adherence to these obligations as needed.

Sunstone lead the development of SIE Standards Operating Model (SIE SOM) to provide guidance on the design of the Single Information Environment, evaluate the risk posed by any significant changes to the SIE, and apply standards-based governance to the SIE.

Sunstone helped ensure that the SIE SOM enables:
• Timely identification and application of relevant standards throughout the Capability Life-cycle (CLC);
• Objective assessment of projects against their SIE standards obligations to determine risks, propose trade-off decisions for consideration or redirect investments/funding allocations;
• Technical direction of projects to improve Joint Force Integration through the identification of compliance risks during early phases of the CLC via embedded support from standards owners.
