predictive growth models, and ensure right-sizing of the computing environment based
on the strategic IT roadmap for future technologies; and identifying and implementing
industry-proven technologies that offer increased computing performance, while reducing
overall IT operational costs. For example, the SEC invested in Blade Server technology,
which offered a reduced data center physical footprint, while significantly increasing
computing capabilities.
7. Workstream 3C: Creating a Technology Center of Excellence (CoE)
The Technology CoE continues to make great progress in its support of SEC Divisions and
Offices.
Progress since the last report includes the following:
• The Center has improved the ability of the agency to share innovation across the SEC.
For example, the Boston Regional Office’s success with a Commercial-off-the-Shelf
(COTS) visual data analytics tool was a key input to the SEC’s decision to procure the
powerful analytics tool for forensic analysis for other regions supporting ENF and the
Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations (OCIE). Other analytical software
tools currently are being piloted on a limited basis. If the results are positive, the
capability may be deployed more widely in support of complex exams, forensic analysis,
and risk based analysis.
• The Center has deployed applications such as eDiscovery and improved courtroom trial
presentation capabilities that have improved the efficiency and effectiveness of
enforcement litigation activities.
• The Center is collaborating with several Divisions and Offices on a Market Data
Analytics review of tools currently being utilized in various SEC Divisions and regions.
The review also is identifying new tools in the marketplace that could decrease staff time
spent conducting investigations and improve oversight capabilities through relational
analyses across disparate data sources, both public and private.
