PLCS* Inc. and GEIA** Press Release
The Product Life Cycle Support (PLCS) Initiative and the GEIA, Data and Configuration Management Committee (G33) are pleased to announce harmonization of configuration management definitions. Consistent definitions across standards will improve the exchange of configuration management (CM) information and provide opportunities for sustainable business growth in the asset-intensive domain associated with logistics support of complex, high-value products.

The GEIA, G33, is working to revise their main process standard for Configuration Management, EIA 649, to reflect current best practices. They are also working on EIA 836, Configuration Management Data Exchange and Interoperability. This project provides a data dictionary of CM terms using XML. US DoD and UK Mod are supporting both initiatives, in line with their policy of adopting appropriate commercial standards.

The EIA 836 project entered balloting at GEIA in January 2002. Comments may be submitted at http://www.dcnicn.com/cm. The EMERGING REVISION to EIA 649 will begin balloting later this year. PLCS will deliver their information models for ISO balloting during the summer. For more information on either project please visit their Web sites at http://www.plcsinc.org and http://www.geia.org/sstc/G33/.

IHS Subscription Services
Joint Technical Architecture - Beta testing May 2002
IHS is striving to assist the Government in meeting its interoperability challenges by delivering an integrated, electronically delivered product that allows consumers of the Joint Technical Architecture (JTA) information to locate it quickly and efficiently. A value-added piece of this equation is IHS TechConnect™ - providing instant access to referenced military and commercial specs and standards. Today, the JTA provides an appendix of references necessary to comply with the JTA. A user must consult this appendix, look up each standard, determine his or her level of access, retrieve the documents, and then return to the task at hand. Soon, IHS will speed this process by at least 75%! IHS will provide a single point of access at the critical point of user need.
