The release of the Business Reference Model (BRM) Version 1.0 on July 22, 2002 was not a one-time event. The Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) Federal Enterprise Architecture Program Management Office (FEAPMO) views the Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA), and the BRM specifically, not as a static model, but as a program, built into the annual budget process to repeatedly and consistently improve all aspects of government service delivery. The BRM will be updated each year to improve its capability to identify and manage improvement efforts based on lessons learned and agency comments.
As a result of these efforts to update the BRM, Version 2.0 now includes a new Mode of Delivery layer. This Business Area describes the mechanisms the government uses to achieve the purpose of government, or its Services for Citizens. It includes two main categories – Financial Vehicles and Government Service Delivery
