Enterprise
Architecture Project Manager for Georgia’s
Enterprise
IT Planning Office
We
currently have a challenging and exciting opportunity for a qualified
Enterprise Architect with a strong Enterprise Architecture program
implementation background to work for up to one year as Enterprise
Architecture
Project Manager Georgia’s Enterprise IT Planning Office.
The
Enterprise IT Planning Office is a component of Georgia Technology
Authority
(GTA). Georgia
would like to utilize the provisions of the federal Intergovernmental
Personnel
Act to detail a federally employed Enterprise Architecture Project
Manager with
the appropriate skills to Georgia
for one year to jump-start its Enterprise Architecture Program. A benefit accruing to the federal agency from
which the employee is detailed could be the experience of linking its
Enterprise Architecture to the appropriate State agency(s). Terms of the engagement are negotiable
between the federal agency and GTA.
GTA
is an agency in the executive branch of Georgia
State government which serves
as Georgia’s
technology
oversight agency and as a service provider.
More information concerning GTA is available on its website http://gta.georgia.gov. Georgia’s
Enterprise Architecture
program is in its infancy and requires strong, knowledgeable guidance
at this
juncture of its implementation.
Georgia
State Government contains a federated grouping of governmental agencies
with
over 100 entities with Information Technology operations.
GTA provides voice telecommunications
services (single line Centrex, electronic key, business line and long
distance)
to all State entities as well as some local and regional organizations. GTA’s operational services for state and
local governments include computing capability on four platforms (IBM,
Unisys, UNIX
and AWE). These platforms are in a
secure environmentally controlled facility with high availability
network
infrastructure, regulated power and UPS.
GTA also provides auxiliary data center services in conjunction
with the
operating environment (legacy and laser printing, data storage, tape
storage,
back-up, seat management, desktop intrusion service). Our
online services include software, tools and
common functionality that facilitate agencies in providing agency
information
and services to constituents or state employees. The
State service portal encompasses twenty
agencies’ content. A constituent
helpdesk assists portal users and state employees, as well as contracts
call
center services to agencies’ requirements.
GTA currently provides video network and video services to
agencies,
schools and institutions. GTA’s current
data service portfolio includes MPLS DSL teleworker, MPLS Managed and
Non-managed, Dial-up ISP, frame relay and SNA.
GTA is not directly funded by the State budget process and but
is
statutorily authorized to recover its operating costs through fee for
service
billing and data sales. The agency
employees approximately 800 (full time and contractor.)
The
Enterprise Architecture Project Manager is expected to assist the
Enterprise IT
Planning Office in defining and implementing a Statewide Enterprise
Architecture program. There are
currently employed 7 recently certified architects (FEA Certification
Institute)
and the State’s Chief Architect who apply approximately ½ time to live
enterprise level IT projects and ½ time to architecture.
This time allocation is not envisioned to
change in the near future. Staff
specialties include business, technical, solutions, and data architects. A communication architect is being recruited.
At
a high level, the Enterprise Architecture Project Manager would have
the
following responsibilities, to be accomplished through GTA’s
Architecture Unit
and other staff of GTA’s Enterprise IT Planning Office:
·

management
of EA activities and architecture staff
