About this file
This is an internal Department of Veterans Affairs memorandum announcing the consolidation of multiple Technical Reference Models (TRMs) into a single unified VA TRM system. Dated January 11, 2010, the memorandum directs all OI&T (Office of Information and Technology) staff and contractors to use the official VA TRM site at http://trm.oit.va.gov/ to ensure compliance of all technology programs and projects with a single technical standard. The VA TRM serves as a component of the Enterprise Architecture and establishes a common vocabulary and structure for describing information technology used to develop, operate, and maintain enterprise applications and systems. The unified TRM includes a Standards Profile and Product List that collectively function as a technology roadmap for OI&T.
The memorandum indicates that while the site currently consolidates content previously published in multiple TRMs, significant changes were expected to be completed by June 1, 2010, to ensure all information is current and consistent. The site provides directions for use, a process for submitting new standards and technologies for evaluation, search capabilities for technical standards, report generation tools, forecast reviews, and access to release histories. The Applied Architecture Service (AAS) under Enterprise Strategy, Policy, Plans, and Programs (ESPPP) maintains overall responsibility and configuration control, while Enterprise Operations and Field Development (EOFD), Information Protection and Risk Management (IPRM), and the Office of Enterprise Development (OED) are responsible for providing TRM content and ensuring quality. Inquiries should be directed to Fred Graham, Director of Applied Architecture Service, at freddie.graham@va.gov or 202-461-4355.

From: Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Information and Technology (005A) subj: One VA TRM Announcement (WebCIMS# 447341)
To: See list below
1. The primary purpose of the Enterprise Architecture (EA) is to inform and guide the decisions of the enterprise, especially as they pertain to Information Technology (IT) standards and investments. The VA Technical Reference Model (TRM) is one component within the overall EA that establishes a common vocabulary and structure for describing the information technology used to develop, operate, and maintain enterprise applications and systems. Moreover, the TRM, which includes the Standards Profile and Product List, collectively serve as a technology roadmap for 01& T.
2. The official VA TRM site is http://trm.oit.va.gov/. I am directing that all Ol&T staff and contractors use this site to ensure all technology program and projects comply with a single TRM. While the site will contain all of the content currently published in multiple TRMs, the VA TRM will undergo significant changes during the next few months as we complete the integration process and make necessary changes to ensure that all information is current and consistent. We expect these changes to be finalized by June 1, 2010.
3. The site includes directions for use as well as the process for submitting new standards and technologies to be evaluated and included in future releases of the TRM. Users can search for technical standards and technologies, generate reports, review forecasts, and access release histories.
4. Your adherence to this TRM is essential to improving the technical environment within VA. Enterprise Strategy, Policy, Plans, and Programs (ESPPP), and specifically Applied Architecture Service (AAS), has overall responsibility for the TRM and will maintain configuration control. AAS will be responsible for the TRM process and Enterprise Operations and Field Development (EOFD), Information Protection and Risk Management (IPRM) and the Office of Enterprise Development (OED) will be responsible for providing the TRM content and ensuring its quality. Please assist in making this effort a success by providing your support and cooperation.
