== History ==
Historically, Federal agencies have managed IT investments autonomously. Until the new millennium, there has been little incentive for agencies to partner to effectively reuse IT investments, share IT knowledge, and explore joint solutions. Starting in the second half of the 1990 a collective, government-wide effort, supported by the Federal CIO Council, utilizing the [[Federal Enterprise Architecture]] (FEA), has been undertaken in an effort to yield significant improvements in the management and reuse of IT investments, while improving services to citizens, and facilitating business relationships internally and externally.<ref>FDIC (2003).

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) first realized the value of Enterprise Architecture in 1997, when two business executives had to reconcile data that had come from different systems for a high-profile report to the banking industry. The FDIC's first EA blueprint was published in December 2002.<ref>Gregg Kreizman, Cathleen E.

In 2004 the FDIC received a 2004 Enterprise Architecture Excellence Award from the [[John Zachman|Zachman Institute for Framework Advancement]] (ZIFA) for its initiative to manage corporate data collaboratively.<ref>[http://www.fdic.gov/news/news/press/2004/pr13104.html FDIC Receives Technology Award]</ref>

* ''[[Business Architecture]]'' : The Business Architecture describes the activities and processes performed by the Corporation to achieve its mission and to realize its vision and goals. Developing the Business Architecture is the first step in creating an Enterprise Architecture (EA) that links the Corporation's business needs to its Information Technology (IT) environment. Maximizing IT support for these requirements will optimize Corporate performance.<ref name="FDICOIG05"/>
* ''[[Data Architecture]]'' : The Data Architecture describes the activities required to obtain and maintain data that supports the information needed by the Corporation’s major business areas. Data and information are different. Data is the foundation of information. Data is the raw material that is processed and refined to generate information. Information consists of a collection of related data that has been processed into a form that is meaningful to the recipient.<ref name="FDICOIG05"/>
* ''[[Applications Architecture]]'' : The Applications Architecture describes the major types of applications that manage data to produce the information needed to support the activities of the Corporation. The Applications Architecture provides a framework that enables the migration from the current applications catalog and software development environment to the target integrated applications, development and engineering environments. The target architecture promotes the use of commercial and government off-the-shelf products, consolidating applications, where applicable, and the use of emerging technologies where appropriate.<ref name="FDICOIG05"/>
* ''[[Technical Infrastructure Architecture]]'' : The IT infrastructure provides access to application systems and office automation tools used in performance of the business processes. The Corporation places high priority on maintaining a consistent, available, and reliable technical infrastructure. The Technical Architecture describes the underlying technology for the Corporation's business, data, and application processing. It includes the technologies used for communications, data storage, application processing, and computing platforms.<ref name="FDICOIG05"/>
* ''[[Security Architecture]]'' : The Security Architecture establishes a framework for integrating safeguards into all layers of the FDIC's Enterprise Architecture. The security architecture uses a risk management and information assurance strategy that provides access control, confidentiality, integrity, and non-repudiation for the Corporation's information and systems.<ref name="FDICOIG05"/>
