Abstract: The Department of Defense (DoD) leadership understands the importance of Service Oriented Architectures (SOAs), Cloud computing, Software as a Service (SaaS), and other emerging technological methodologies, standards, and practices. Historically, information has been restricted to small groups or individuals. In a general sense, the critical need to properly and securely share, reuse, and provide information services are often blocked by issues of security, lack of understanding, misinformation, and legacy thinking.
