Standardizing IT services

摘要

The Defense Information Systems Agency on May 22 released a new framework aiming to standardize IT services and operations throughout the military, formalizing ideas that top officials have been discussing in recent months. The DoD Enterprise Services Management Framework (DESMF) "provides guidance to standardize the management of IT services across DoD organizations and is the embodiment of the integration of various best practices, frameworks and standards that defines a department-wide service management approach," the memo states. The framework, a second-edition release that will be followed by a third edition incoming months, reflects broader DoD moves toward centralized IT services that the military services already are moving out on, such as the unified capabilities under development in a joint effort between DISA, the Army and the Air Force.
