Crucial Point LLC CTO and Founder Bob Gourley quoted in Federal Computer Week:
More than any other agency in the intelligence community, the Defense Intelligence Agency has taken the lead in adopting policies, business practices and information technologies needed to create an ISE, some experts say. For example, DIA is using dozens of collaboration and social networking tools, such as wikis, blogs and mashups that combine Web content from various sources. DIA is using those tools both internally and to share intelligence information with other agencies whenever possible.
“The ISE is an approach,” said Bob Gourley, DIA’s chief technology officer. To take advantage of social-networking technologies, agencies must have a modern IT infrastructure.
DIA is building a federated, service-oriented architecture, Gourley said. In that process, the agency’s biggest challenges are bringing older systems still in use into the new architecture and verifying that external organizations are trustworthy.
