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.
HHS Program Support Center (PSC) replaced the aging legacy Human Resources (HR) system with the Commercial off the Shelf (COTS) Federal PeopleSoft Human Resources Management System (HRMS) 8.01 as the enterprise HR application for the Department. The aging HR system was developed over 35 years ago using the COBOL language and Wang infrastructure which was no longer supported by the vendor. The Department's PeopleSoft replacement system, EHRP, is a COTS product that utilizes current web-based technology. The EHRP is an enterprise solution for HR processing that directly supports two portions of the President's Management Agenda: Strategic Management of Human Capital, and Expanded Electronic Government. The EHRP "core functionality" is defined as any functionality required to electronically process and approve personnel actions, produce SF-50s, and provide data to the payroll provider, DFAS. The system offers desktop access to workforce demographic information that can be used for strategic planning purposes. In support of e-gov initiatives and the President's Mgmt Agenda, electronic interfaces are provided to OPM for the EHRI and eOPF systems. Interfaces are generated from EHRP in support of Departmental initiatives, such as eWITS and Learning Management System (LMS). As new requests for system enhancements are requested by the HR functional areas of HHS, the proposed items are vetted through the HR Center Directors prior to going before the Information Technology Investment Review Board (ITIRB) process. EHRP was designed to ensure data integrity, continued availability of data, and protect data confidentiality. It adheres to HHS Enterprise Architecture (EA) standards, OMB Circular A-130, NIST Special Publication 800-26, FISMA, requirements for Privacy Impact Analysis (PIA), the e-Gov Act, as well as other applicable guidelines. CPIC control procedures are fully integrated into the Enterprise Architecture as implemented by the CIOs office and the FEAF. The system integrates a full life cycle of EA processes that include the SDLC (security, change control, etc). Operational Analysis is conducted on a monthly basis that includes: performance reviews, systems tuning, enhancement reviews, change mgmt and problem reviews. In 2005, Oracle acquired the PeopleSoft vendor and plans to replace the HR product in 2010 with an Oracle solution. which will require replacement of this investment. Therefore, Summary of Spending is not reflected beyond 2011.

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.

Enterprise Architecture


In order to successfully address this area of the business case and capital asset plan you must ensure the investment is included in the agency's EA and Capital Planning and Investment Control (CPIC) process, and is mapped to and supports the FEA. 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.
PSC Enterprise Human Resource System (EHRP)
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.

PART TWO


RISK


You should perform a risk assessment during the early planning and initial concept phase of the investment's life-cycle, develop a risk-adjusted life-cycle cost estimate and a plan to eliminate, mitigate or manage risk, and be actively managing risk throughout the investment's life-cycle.

Answer the following questions to describe how you are managing investment risks.
1. Does the investment have a Risk Management Plan?
yes
1.a. If yes, what is the date of the plan?
2006-06-06
1.b. Has the Risk Management Plan been significantly changed since last year's submission to OMB?
no
3. Briefly describe how investment risks are reflected in the life cycle cost estimate and investment schedule:
Program risk management is an ongoing part of project management on the Capital HR (EHRP) investment. We have a very robust risk management capability in place that requires biweekly meetings with active participation spanning all aspects of the investment. The systems integrator and HHS actively work together to identify, manage and track risks that could adversely impact the program. Costs associated with the risk capability are captured in individual task orders and included in the cost estimated throughout the lifecycle. Schedule and cost risks are continously monitored and mitigated through our established processes. In some cases, scope and/or schedule must be adjusted to avert cost overruns. Risks associated with added functionality to Capital HR (EHRP) are assessed and mitigation and/or contingency plans are developed as necessary. Risks relative to government mandates are managed within existing risk management processes.

COST & SCHEDULE


1. Does the earned value management system meet the criteria in ANSI/EIA Standard 748?

2. Is the CV% or SV% greater than ± 10%?
