What is GEAR?
GEAR is a reference architecture that describes how government organizations can align business, technology, data, and governance layers.
Framework
GEAR: Government Enterprise Architecture Reference
GEAR is a reference model for government enterprise architecture and modernization programs.
It helps leaders define layers, relationships, and decision boundaries so modernization efforts remain coherent.
Layers and aspects
Use it to reason about mission layers, capability layers, information flow, and the controls required to keep modernization defensible.
How it helps leaders
GEAR reduces ambiguity by giving executives and architects a common reference for modernization choices.
Relationship to GDXA
GDXA focuses on the transformation journey. GEAR provides the architectural reference used to guide that journey.
Next step
Use public-sector advisory when you need architecture support, alignment across stakeholders, and a practical modernization roadmap.
