This includes the coordination of Information Technology lifecycle management for all VHA IT systems and portfolios. The ESM Office functions as a matrix organization to identify and work through cross-cutting issues, and to maximize OHI and Program Office resources in support of the IT portfolios of systems.

"Joint Interoperability Ventures (JIV) - Supports daily operations of the joint Veterans Affairs/Department of Defense (VA/DoD) Federal Health Care Center (FHCC) facility projects the first being the North Chicago FHCC. Additionally, the ESM Office has three ancillary cross-cutting services as follows: "Business Architecture Office (BA) - Provides senior VHA and OHI leadership with the business tools, products and analyses necessary to make informed enterprise-wide architectural decisions. "Requirements Analysis and Engineering Management (RAEM) - Provides the initial level of review for analysis and evaluation of projects and programs designed to meet VHA clinical and business requirements. They facilitate stakeholders in order to elicit, document, analyze, communicate and validate customer requests for changes to information systems and then refine the high-level requirements for requests that have received funding and approval.
