ORLANDO, Fla.—The Homeland Security
Department within the next month or so will begin issuing requests
for information for systems and services it will need, speakers said
today at the Information Processing Interagency Conference.
Flyzik, now a partner in the firm of Guerra, Kiviat, Flyzik and
Associates of Oak Hill, Va., also said the department's Science and
Technology Directorate would carry out pilots of "things that are
not ready for prime time today."
"The most exciting working group is the enterprise architecture”
team, Flyzik said. The department wants to have 80 percent of its
systems architecture in place by September, he said.
HSD sent Coast Guard chief knowledge officer Nat Heiner to speak for
Cooper, who stayed in Washington for the official opening of the
department last Saturday.
"I can't tell you when that is going to happen," Heiner said, and
added the department plans to set up a Web site for vendors.
