programs are not allocating their resources in a conservative manner. Doing so will allow resources to be re-allocated and address new threats. Therefore, it is necessary that the intelligence community can "ensure that new systems are developed in compliance with an Intelligence Community Enterprise Architecture," as defined by the Deputy Director of National Intelligence for Management. NIS execution 100-Day Plan Initiated in April 2007, the 100-Day Plan creates the platform for the implementation of the NIS. The plan focuses on integration and collaboration. Key features of the 100-Day Plan accomplishments are: A conceptual model of the new security clearance process Increased information sharing among intelligence agencies Increased collaborative communication system among key foreign allies 500-Day Plan The NIS is currently in execution under the 500-Day Plan. Like the 100-Day Plan, its focus is on integration and collaboration. According to the 500-Day Plan, it will drive integration and foster collaboration, "ultimately leading to better mission performance." Integration is at the heart of the NIS and the 500-Day Plan is how the transition is to be executed. The Plan is a program targeted at managers, which address "long-standing modes, practices, and behaviors." Another key feature of the 500-Day Plan is the implementation of an EXCOM, which ideally provides leadership through this transformation period. According to Dr. Donald Kerr, Principle Deputy Director of National Intelligence, the 500-Day Plan takes "into account the recommendations already made, [and] build on the progress already achieved" by the 100-Day Plan.
