The Enterprise Integration Toolkit Version 6.1 has been developed by ADUSD (L&MR) Logistics Systems Management (LSM) to assist Program Managers, Contract Officers and members of the Integrated Project Team in the acquisition and implementation of Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) Business Systems software.
The Toolkit is not vendor specific and may be applied across a variety of COTS software package implementations. The Toolkit contains a Roadmap and a collection of best practice tools adopted from the commercial industry. The Toolkit will continue to be enhanced and includes more than 100 best practice templates, guides, checklists, and samples.
This Toolkit provides a three-tiered Roadmap to guide the entire life-cycle from problem definition to solution roll-out: The highest level tier defines the phases of a typical COTS business systems project life-cycle: For each high-level phase, a sequence of processes is provided to guide the program's activities. For each process, a detailed step-by-step set of tasks is defined with a link to the best practice tool to assist in completing that specific step.
We appreciate your input for any future enhancements to make this Toolkit as effective and comprehensive as possible. Please submit any comments and tools that are examples of best practices to:
