Large-scale DoD acquisition programs are increasingly being
developed atop reusable software platforms—known as Common Operating
Environments (COEs) —that provide applications and end-users with many
net-centric capabilities, such as cloud computing or Web 2.0
applications, including data-sharing, interoperability, user-centered
design, and collaboration. Selecting an appropriate COE is critical to
the success of acquisition programs, yet the processes and methods for
evaluating COEs had not been clearly defined. I explain below how the
SEI developed a Software Evaluation Framework and applied it to help
assess the suitability of COEs for the US Army.
