This project sponsored by the Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence and executed in the Northern Virginia. The project objective is to help the government improve its flawed information technology acquisition process through four key activities:

• Establish a collaborative network of government, industry, and academic experts who have succeeded at some aspect of OEIS
• Study Internet successful stories and distill the lessons learned
• Embed lessons learned into familiar government acquisition artifacts
• Work with early adopting pilot projects to verify, validate, refine, and document best practices
