About ICES
Intelligence Consulting Enterprise Solutions, Inc. (ICES), a Veteran Owned Small Business (VOSB), was incorporated in 2004 and has proudly served the Intelligence Community (IC), the Department of Defense (DoD), and commercial clients for over 18 years as a prime contractor and subcontractor. ICES is based in northern Virginia with employees in the Washington Metropolitan Area, St. Louis, MO, and Boulder, CO.
ICES applies its unique enterprise-level architecture framework including a model-based systems engineering (MBSE) methodology called ICES Architecture Framework (IAF) and the associated ICES Architecture Maturity Model© (IAMM©) at the forefront of Digital Engineering delivering highly complex architectures and major new system acquisitions to our customers. The IAF combines best practices from a broad range of architectures frameworks and reference models including OMB Federal Enterprise Architecture Framework (FEAF), NIST Cloud Computing Reference Architecture, the Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF), and the Intelligence Community’s Joint Architecture Reference Model (JARM) FEAF extensions. Additionally, the IAF draws from commercially relevant architecture frameworks including the Zachman Architecture Framework (ZAF) and The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) and is updated regularly to address emerging architecture concepts. As such, IAF is a “fit for purpose” framework that can scale to the needs of an organization’s critical problems and encompasses People, Processes, and Technologies of an enterprise. The IAMM© allows enterprise, data, solution, and business architects the ability to evaluate architecture maturity through a controlled standards-based assessment process to evaluate architectures based upon three capability areas – Completeness, Utilization, and Results. The IAMM© was developed by ICES for use on our architecture projects to provide an objective measure of maturity of current state architecture data and a measure of improvement in that data over time. Through the use of the IAMM©, we are able to establish outcomes and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for each capability area.
