Technalink played a pivotal role in advancing the Federal Railroad Administration’s (FRA) Enterprise IT capabilities by strengthening IT governance, capital planning, and enterprise architecture. Through strategic alignment, compliance, and transparency, we empowered FRA to make data-driven technology investment decisions that directly supported mission success and long-term agency goals.
Capabilities Delivered
- Integrated IT Governance & Strategic Capital Planning
Technalink facilitated governance board meetings, executive briefings, and cross-functional working groups to drive timely, mission-aligned decisions. We embedded Capital Planning and Investment Control (CPIC) processes into governance structures, ensuring that all IT investments were prioritized and evaluated for strategic impact, risk, and value. - Enterprise Architecture Development & Modernization
We developed a comprehensive Enterprise Architecture (EA) framework aligned with federal reference models. This architecture continuum supported decision-making across business, application, data, and technology domains, helping FRA align modernization efforts with compliance mandates and performance objectives. - Data Governance & Audit Readiness
In collaboration with the FRA Data Council, Technalink implemented a Data Implementation Plan aligned with CDO Council guidance and the DATA Act. We supported the agency’s maturity in data integrity, gap analysis, and long-term strategic planning. Our audit-ready SharePoint-based Enterprise Management System automated IT workflows, tracked approvals, and enabled real-time compliance monitoring. - FITARA Compliance & Investment Integration
We led the integration of FITARA-compliant processes into FRA’s IT governance ecosystem. By mapping investments to enterprise architecture and coordinating with internal working groups, Technalink ensured that procurements and IT services met regulatory requirements while enhancing strategic oversight and accountability. - Reporting & Strategic Decision Support
Technalink produced monthly governance and budget reports that delivered performance tracking, risk visibility, and actionable insights. Our coordination with DOT governance boards enhanced agency-wide collaboration and enabled long-term investment planning built on transparency and measurable outcomes.
