The information in this section is more appropriately about the Federal government's former policy on enterprise architecture and has little or nothing to do with the FDIC.
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. 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. The FEA is a business-based framework that provides the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and Federal agencies a way to monitor, analyze, and control Federal IT investments.<ref>FDIC (2003). ''[http://www.iriboffice.ir/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=up56ppcNQ4M%3D&tabid=246&mid=634 Information Technology Strategic Plan 2004–2007]'' </ref> The [[FDIC]] first realized the value of EA 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 Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) recently received a 2004 Enterprise Architecture Excellence Award from the Zachman Institute for Framework Advancement (ZIFA) for its initiative to manage corporate data collaboratively.
