Trouxs latest offering helps DoD organizations and federal agencies meet the requirements of the Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF 1.0) and drives value leveraging the DoDAF with data-centric capabilities analysis, investment planning, and portfolio management.

Our goal is to support enterprise architects, analysts, and program managers in their efforts to ensure resource and mission alignment," said Pat Motola, president of Troux Technologies. We are helping them move beyond just ‘checking the DoDAF boxes to driving strategic planning and investment decisions."

Motola noted that with Trouxs Solution, DoD-related programs and projects may be evaluated and understood in the context of required capabilities and program objectives. Program managers and executives can answer key questions such as: Where are the gaps, duplications and redundancies, within and across architectures and programs?" Necessary documentation, reports and views may be updated automatically to reflect any changes in underlying data. The result is that DoD transformation teams can now act with the full knowledge of these impacts based on more accurate and complete information.

Trouxs DoD Transformation Solution Components
Trouxs DoD Transformation Solution includes several key components. The Metis Template for DoDAF 1.0 provides an integrated architecture for EA practitioners to deliver the DoDAF products. The Troux EA Planning Methodology is a set of templates, models, and views installed into the Metis Client tools to manage and automate best-practice EA Planning. The Capabilities Analysis Pad, a dashboard-like interface, allows analysis within and across architecture models and provides the ability to easily analyze the architecture to identify gaps, redundancies, and duplications.

Trouxs DoD Transformation Solution enables users to spend more time answering specific questions necessary to fulfilling the missions of their organizations through the ability to:
·   Report, visualize, and deliver the required DoDAF 1.0 products
·   Analyze the architecture data to make informed decisions
·   Perform investment planning and produce the proper documentation
·   Manage the portfolio of capabilities
·   Measure and improve performance

EA and DoD transformation teams can focus on capabilities that enable program managers to meet their objectives and deliver quantifiable results to the organization, constituents and coalition members.    

Pricing and Availability
The Troux DoDAF 1.0 Template, a key component of Trouxs DoD Transformation Solution, will be available in June, 2005. Pricing will be announced in May.
