(long text - 2500 characters)
The FMSS is a mission critical system of the Department of Education and is supported by the ISS business case for infrastructure and testing as part of the EDCAPS environment. The Department expects to continue on its improvements in the following performance outcomes from this initiative: continued control over and accountability of Department financial management services including, financial management system controls and practices; financial system reporting capabilities and continued ability to respond quickly to internal and external financial information inquiries. Additional outcomes are tighter integration and streamlining with the Office of Federal Student Aid (OFSA) and business processes; fewer manual reconciliation efforts for the Financial Management Operations Group within the Office of the Chief Financial Officer; elimination of redundant entry of allotments into both the OCFO and OFSA systems; reduction of errors and improved funds control; better data sharing and centralized data edits and controls that could otherwise get out of synchronization between the FMSS and other feeder systems.

I. D. 1. Table 1. Performance Information Table
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.

I. F. 4. Service Component Reference Model (SRM) Table :
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.egov.gov.

a. Use existing SRM Components or identify as "NEW". A "NEW" component is one not already identified as a service component in the FEA SRM.
b. 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.
c. '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.
d. Please provide the percentage of the BY requested funding amount used for each service component listed in the table. If external, provide the percentage of the BY requested funding amount transferred to another agency to pay for the service. The percentages in this column can, but are not required to, add up to 100%.

I. F. 6. Will the application leverage existing components and/or applications across the Government (i.e., FirstGov, Pay.Gov, etc)?
no

II. A. 1. Did you conduct an alternatives analysis for this project?
yes

II. A. 2. Use the results of your alternatives analysis to complete the following table:
(Character Limitations: Alternative Analyzed - 250 characters; Description of Alternative - 500 Characters)

Description of Alternative Risk Lifecycle Cost Estimate Risk Lifecycle Benefits Estimate Oracle 11i w/ tight integration to FMS - FSA sub-ledger will continue to reside in a separate environment. (Status quo solution) This alternative allows FSA and OCFO the flexibility to phase-in efforts to modernize and integrate feeder systems, it avoids performance contention, provides the ability to isolate requirements of system modernization efforts, keeps the interface between FMS and FMSS constant and minimizes risk to all Departmental financial system implementations e.g. GAPS Redesign. However, this alternative maintains the dual implementation of Oracle Federal Financials, one for FMS and the other for FMSS.     Combine FMS and FMSS with 11i Implementation - Department would consolidate the Federal Student Aid (FSA) office's instance of Oracle Federal Financials (FMS) with FMSS and implement a single Oracle 11i solution. Potential to consolidate and streamline FSA business processes, require less work for Financial Management Operations and FSA staff, elimination of redundant entry of allotments into both the FMSS and FMS systems, reduce chance of errors and better funds control and data sharing. However, the modernization effort underway at FSA requires significant oversight and coordination. The many resources needed to manage several projects simultaneously would put all projects at risk of failure.     FMLOB Solution - Department would migrate to a Shared Service Center (SSC) for financial management functions. This would include core financial functions (A/R, A/P, purchasing, budgeting, budget planning and G/L) and financial interfaces. The concept of SSCs is new to the federal government and is currently not mature enough to manage the complexities of the Department's 200+ funds and varied business processes based on analysis and discussions with SSCs. No current SSC shares the diversity of financial requirements that ED maintains. The FMSS is tightly integrated all other EDCAPS systems and FSA's FMS. This integration would be difficult to replicate at a SSC and maintain the high financial integrity for which ED is known.     Implement version 12 of the Oracle Financial management system. Oracle Federal Financials version 12 is to be released as a replacement for version 11i, the Department's current version. Version 12 is expected to included additional/improved features compared to the 11i version. This alternative was not selected since the Department recently completed the implementation of 11i. Also, OMB has directed all agencies to move their financial management functions to a shared service provider at the time of implementing a major release. V12 requires this.

II. A. 3. Which alternative was selected by the Agency's Executive/Investment Committee and why was it chosen?
(long text - 2500 characters)
Alternative One, Oracle 11i w/ tight integration to FMS was chosen because it allows for OCFO and OFSA to manage their individual modernization efforts without interfering with each other, avoids processing contention, provides the best performance capabilities and positions the Department for the FMLOB initiative. It maintains strong internal controls and business processes that have been developed and functioning over the past year. This solution is not the least expensive, however, it has the least amount of risk to the government of the four alternatives.

II. A. 4. What specific qualitative benefits will be realized?
(long text - 2500 characters)
Continued control over and accountability of Department finances, financial management system and practices, financial system reporting capabilities, system performance and the ability to quickly respond to internal and external information inquiries. This alternative has produced clean financial statements and allowed the Department to perform monthly closes within three days of the month-end. Improved business processes are also available in this alternative, e.g. IPAC transactions have been automated to process them out of the suspense account upon receipt. Erroneous payments are avoided with a system of strong internal controls including data edit checks and clear separation of duties.

II. A. 5. Will the selected alternative replace a legacy system in-part or in-whole?
no
