What is the BEA?
The BEA is the enterprise architecture for the DoD Business Missions Area. The purpose of the BEA is to provide a blueprint for DoD business transformation that helps ensure the right capabilities, resources and material are rapidly delivered to our warfighters - what they need, when they need it, where they need it, anywhere in the world.
The BEA guides and constrains implementation of inter-operable defense business system solutions as required by the Section 2222 of Title 10 United States Code. It also guides information technology investment management to align with strategic business capabilities as required by law. BEA is comprised of a set of integrated viewpoint products. The viewpoints display capabilities, activities, processes, data, information exchanges, business rules, system functions, services, system data exchanges, technical standards, terms, and linkages to Laws, Regulation and Policies (LRP).
