FY2006
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.
This investment was reviewed & approved by the Information Technology Review Board & currently is in the control phase of the CPIC process. The Enterprise Data Centers (EDC) are the foundation of the enterprise infrastructure that will support all CMS production Data Center Operations. They will provide the infrastructure and program management office to transition all CMS production operations currently performed by over 20 disparate Data Centers into 3 integrated Enterprise Data Centers. The privately owned EDCs will be operated by industry leaders. The EDCs will provide CMS with world-class application hosting centers & be capable of operating a redundant & scalable environment for mainframe & mid-tier computing. The EDCs will be geographically dispersed & designed for interoperability. With all production applications hosted in one of the EDCs, the Baltimore CMS Data Center will be used as a test and validation environment for all CMS applications. The EDCs will provide CMS the capability to deploy secure, scalable, high-performing applications on the Internet. They will combine "best practice" quality management systems with secure operations found in traditional data centers with the agility, access, & customer responsiveness required for successful e-Business. This investment also supports the development of a common enterprise infrastructure (CEI) that facilitates highly integrated operations (e.g., cyber security), seamless handoffs between EDCs & CMS, & common reporting & management in a distributed environment. The EDCs will provide CMS business owners with many benefits, including:1)Improving service levels to benes & providers through support of web-based services, better & timely access to quality data, relief of data center capacity constraints, integrated help desks & enterprise call centers, & more control over security & privacy; 2) Giving CMS business owners the ability to host applications in a controlled environment with more flexibility to respond to increased Medicare claims processing; 3) Providing the computing infrastructure for Medicare FFS Contracting Reform, realizing savings from economies of scale; 4) Improving the ability to timely implement new applications or make changes to existing applications across any EDC through the standardization of enterprise-level infrastructure; & 5) Establishing the EDCs in a structured way helps implement its legislative mandates & position CMS to meet its future business needs.

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.
CMS Modernized IT Infrastructure (Enterprise Data Centers)
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.
