RFI-ENGAGEMENT SERVICES FOR ENTERPRISE ARCHITECTURE PROGRAM AND IMPLEMENTATION necessary a TOP-DOWN approach that will allow the understanding of the business point of view and that will allow closing the gap between existing systems functionality and the processes and services required. Additional information on this assessment and its results is provided in section 6 of this document. On June 2012, a Program Management team was established in order to extend the approach of the preceding SOA initiatives towards an integral, holistic, business-driven vision and program scope. The coordination team, namely RENOVA, is responsible for the adoption of Enterprise Architecture, the establishment of the EA CoE and the initial guidance of all EA efforts. It serves also as the coordinating Project Management Office (PMO) for the execution of projects to RENOVAte current processes and systems. The first milestone in this transformational effort is to procure a new comprehensive integration and development BPM/SOA platform. This new platform includes not only SOA components, but BPM, ECM, Governance tools among others. The platform is planned to be acquired through a bid-and-selection process between October and December 2012, and implemented in the development environment by February 2013. 2.1 SCOPE The information requested in this RFI refers to goals/tasks that the ACP seeks to accomplish with its own workforce and guidance/support from external consultants Goal “EA Adoption and Establishment of CoE” “Top-Down” and “Middle-Out” assessment of core business processes “Solution Project 1” Description Conceptualize, develop and ensure adoption of Enterprise Architecture for the Panama Canal, including Business, Information, Application and Technology Architecture layers.

RFI-ENGAGEMENT SERVICES FOR ENTERPRISE ARCHITECTURE PROGRAM AND IMPLEMENTATION Following is an illustration of the RFI scope in terms of the organization as described previously. 2.2 ASSUMPTIONS At the beginning of the engagement, it is expected that the contractor will help the ACP to identify priorities, risks and other factors regarding the courses of action in: application integration, modernization, composite applications and new application development It is of utmost importance that the ACP develops the competencies and establishes the capabilities to use EA effectively to drive business and IT investments and to deliver solution implementation projects to the business while governing its architecture. For that matter, knowledge transfer is a key element of this engagement ACP will avoid the adoption of turn-key solutions to minimize the number and complexity of risks associated to the fact that these type of solutions do not allow effective knowledge transfer to maintain and extend their architectures It is expected that ACP resources will be responsible for value-added tasks. To minimize costs, other non-core tasks could be outsourced to software factories such as development for specific areas of the whole solution The work envisioned for the “Solution Project 1” shall make the most efficient use of the BPM/SOA platform components available for solution development at ACP Non-binding RFI (Request for Information) 7 ACP RENOVA Program
