Today's major organization systems rely heavily on software-enabled capabilities. However, many defense programs acquiring new systems first determine the physical items to develop, assuming the contractors for those items will provide all needed software for the capability. But software by its nature spans physical items: it provides the inter-system communications that directly influence most capabilities and thus must be architected intelligently, especially when different contractors build pieces. If this architecture step is not done correctly, a software-reliant project can be set up to fail from the first architectural decision. Even Geographic Information Systems (GIS) require software-enabled services to store, analyze, and visualize data for geographic positions on Earth's surface. GIS is a computer-based tool that examines spatial relationships, patterns, and trends. By connecting geography with data, GIS better understands data using a geographic context.
