8. Provide a brief summary and justification for this investment, including a brief description of how this closes in part or in whole an identified agency performance gap.
CDC's IT infrastructure provides the foundation which enables CDC to perform it's critical mission of public health monitoring, research, communications, resource management, and surveillance. The goal is to provide service that is designed, deployed, operated and managed to meet the needs of CDC's public health mission. It must be flexible enough to respond to increased levels of service and rapid deployment of IT infrastructure for public health emergencies and support the day to day business functions. CDC with OMB approval has "restructured" CDC's Information Technology Service Office (ITSO). ITSO operates as a single enterprise office structured as a Restructured Organization (Formerly referred to as High Performing Organization (HPO)).ITSO is a consolidation of all IT infrastructure management and operations into a single organization reporting to the CDC Chief Information Officer and operating as a HPO in line with competitive sourcing policy exempt from a standard or streamlined competition for a period of five years (FY05- FY09) as long as all Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are met or exceeded. Supporting 13,500 IT infrastructure users of CDC data and services, this investment include all CDC IT infrastructure services and costs. Infrastructure functions include acquisition, installation, and support of the following: Desktop workstations, Directory services, E-mail , Tier-one helpdesk, Infrastructure software, Internet/, IT security, Networking, Remote access, Server support , Telecommunications, Videoconferencing. Other alternatives evaluated include (1) continuation of the previous CDC infrastructure management distributed among 18 CDC programs in over 36 geographic locations; (2) consolidation of all IT infrastructure management and operations into a single organization without additional aggressive business process re-engineering. The current "restructured organization" continues to outperform the other alternatives. As of 3rd quarter FY07, all KPIs for cost efficiency, staffing efficiency, service offerings, and service quality have been exceeded. This investment was approved by the CDC TRB and CDC ITIRB in June 2006. This initiative is steady state; has conducted the first operational analysis; and as a result of the analysis will remain in steady state. This initiative supports HHS Goal 8: Achieve excellence in management practices and PMA Initiatives, Expanded Electronic government and Competitive Sourcing.

PERFORMANCE


In order to successfully address this area of the exhibit 300, performance goals must be provided for the agency and be linked to the annual performance plan. The investment must discuss the agency's mission and strategic goals, and performance measures (indicators) must be provided. These goals need to map to the gap in the agency's strategic goals and objectives this investment is designed to fill. They are the internal and external performance benefits this investment is expected to deliver to the agency (e.g., improve efficiency by 60 percent, increase citizen participation by 300 percent a year to achieve an overall citizen participation rate of 75 percent by FY 2xxx, etc.). The goals must be clearly measurable investment outcomes, and if applicable, investment outputs. They do not include the completion date of the module, milestones, or investment, or general goals, such as, significant, better, improved that do not have a quantitative measure.
Agencies must use the following table to report performance goals and measures for the major investment and use the Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA) Performance Reference Model (PRM). Map all Measurement Indicators to the corresponding Measurement Area and Measurement Grouping identified in the PRM. There should be at least one Measurement Indicator for each of the four different Measurement Areas (for each fiscal year). The PRM is available at www.egov.gov. The table can be extended to include performance measures for years beyond FY 2009.

You must also ensure the business case demonstrates the relationship between the investment and the business, performance, data, services, application, and technology layers of the agency's EA.
1. Is this investment included in your agency's target enterprise architecture?
yes
2. Is this investment included in the agency's EA Transition Strategy?
yes
2.a. If yes, provide the investment name as identified in the Transition Strategy provided in the agency's most recent annual EA Assessment.
CDC Information Technology Infrastructure
3. Is this investment identified in a completed (contains a target architecture) and approved segment architecture?
no
4. Identify the service components funded by this major IT investment (e.g., knowledge management, content management, customer relationship management, etc.). Provide this information in the format of the following table. For detailed guidance regarding components, please refer to http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/egov/.

Component: Use existing SRM Components or identify as NEW. A NEW component is one not already identified as a service component in the FEA SRM.

Reused Name and UPI: A reused component is one being funded by another investment, but being used by this investment. Rather than answer yes or no, identify the reused service component funded by the other investment and identify the other investment using the Unique Project Identifier (UPI) code from the OMB Ex 300 or Ex 53 submission.

Internal or External Reuse?: Internal reuse is within an agency. For example, one agency within a department is reusing a service component provided by another agency within the same department. External reuse is one agency within a department reusing a service component provided by another agency in another department. A good example of this is an E-Gov initiative service being reused by multiple organizations across the federal government.

Funding Percentage: Please provide the percentage of the BY requested funding amount used for each service component listed in the table. If external, provide the funding level transferred to another agency to pay for the service.

yes
6.a. If yes, please describe.
This investment leverages: Federal Health Architecture (FHA), IT Infrastructure Optimization Line of Business, Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6). Yes, this investment will host existing applications across the Government, specifically HHS applications such as EHRP, UFMS (which aligns with the Presidential initiative for financial management), standard HHS Tier-1 Helpdesk, HHS.Net, and standard HHS E-mail system. The IT infrastructure will support or will integrate with all of these applications by providing the hardware/software platforms necessary to process the application, develop the applications, or process the applications. Additionally, as an OMB approved Restructured Organization (HPO), the infrastructure must function and is functioning as efficiently as possible. Further, this initiative complies with teh Federal Health Architecture, leveraging the Consolidated Health Informatics standards, the IT Infrastructure Line of Business standards, and the IT Security Line of Business and Nist security standards. Effective use of government funding is demonstrate by our ability to reduce the cost per customer supported and the ability to continue to expand service offerings, to maintain service timeliness and availability as our annual budget decreases.

COST & SCHEDULE


1. Was operational analysis conducted?
yes
1.a. If yes, provide the date the analysis was completed.
2007-06-30
What were the results of your operational analysis?
Performance was acceptable as determined meeting or exceeding all by key performance indicators (KPIS) and indicated no reason to discontinue steady state. ITSO's Restructuring initiative (HPO) established a series of performance metrics with KPIs and additional performance measures that are used to ensure designated quality, availability, and timeliness of services while achieving operational efficiencies. The Restructuring Initiative established a foundation for a comprehensive service level agreement (SLA) for the range of services. The SLA covers the major services offerings categories: Application Server Hosting, Customer Service, E-Mail, Directory Services, IT Infrastructure Security, Mainframe, Networking PC Hardware/software, Remote Access Telecommunications and Videoconferencing. The accountability of the initiative is based on the KPIs which include: Cost per customer/year; Customers supported/ITSO staff; Provision of new/expanded service offerings; Customer satisfaction; Service timeliness; and Service availability. The 3rd quarter FY07 report shows all KPIs exceeded the goals. Cost per customer/year: Goal=$6601, Actual=$5686; Customers supported/ITSO staff: Goal=68.1, Actual=73.5; Provision of new/expanded service offerings: Goal=+2, Actual=+6; Customer satisfaction (% of customers indicating good or excellent service provided): Goal=70%, Actual=83.6%; Service timeliness (%of services that achieve SLA timeliness goals): Goal=80%, Actual=100%; and Service availability (1-(person-hrs outage/total person-hours)): Goal=99.8%, Actual=99.93%.
