The BEA is the enterprise architecture for the DoD Business Mission Area (BMA) and defines the DoD business transformation priorities, the Business Capabilities required to support those priorities, and the combinations of Enterprise Systems and Initiatives that enable those capabilities.
The purpose of the BEA is to provide a blueprint for DoD business transformation that helps to ensure that the right capabilities, resources and materiel are rapidly delivered to our warfighters: What they need, where they need it, when they need it, anywhere in the world. The BEA guides and constrains implementation of interoperable defense business system solutions as required by the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) and guides information technology (IT) investment to align with strategic Business Capabilities as required by NDAA, Clinger-Cohen and supporting Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and Government Accountability Office (GAO) policy."
