Art Fritzson
Vice President, Booz Allen Hamilton
Art Fritzson is a Vice President with Booz Allen Hamilton providing leadership in Advanced Information Technology. Mr. Fritzson leads the firms activities in Net-Centricity for the Department of Defense. As a thought leader in the strategic application of emerging technology, Mr. Fritzson is responsible for developing key parts of the strategy for DoD wide IT based transformation. This is a transformation based on web services and Service Oriented Architecture on an unprecedented scale: DoD is challenged with multiple acquisition domains that have created an environment with thousands of separate business vocabularies, tens of thousands of disparate applications and at least as many distinct integrations. Mr. Fritzson's work is in the practical aspects of technology, process and cultural transformation required to evolve the current architecture toward a more unified "net-centric" one that promotes joint operations in the military. His current focus is on the Enterprise Data Strategy and the Network Centric Enterprise Services for the Assistant Secretary of Defense / Networks and Information Integration (ASD/NII). These are the first components of the transformation that are in the process of being rolled out across the uniform services. He has also been active in building the firm's overall presence in ASD/NII, in driving new firm initiatives around Intellectual Capital and Knowledge Management.
