This guide delivers additional critical industry information on the value proposition and business case for the FACE Approach. Specific enhancements include:

  • A more detailed description of the FACE Approach
  • Recent Department of Defense, Army, Navy, and Air Force Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) policy and guidance

“The FACE Business Guide, Version 3.0, further highlights the value of using the FACE Approach, providing additional clarity around how both customers and suppliers can realize the business benefits,” said Steve Nunn, President and CEO of The Open Group. “In addition, it is a significant milestone which demonstrates maturity and alignment, to recent MOSA policy. I applaud Member organizations of the FACE Consortium Business Working Group for this achievement and look forward to the accelerated adoption of the FACE Technical Standard and FACE Business Approach.”

“With emerging threats and limited resources, our leadership has challenged us to provide more capabilities to our warfighters faster with less funding by utilizing Modular Open Systems Approach,” stated Joe Carter, FACE Consortium Steering Committee Chair and US Army PEO Aviation G10 Systems Engineering Branch Chief.  “The FACE Consortium was an early adopter of all the aspects, including an established conformance certification program, which now form the 5 Principles of MOSA.  This FACE Business Guide effectively explains the value of the FACE Approach for both government and industry.”
