In FY2005 the National Business Center Finance and Procurement System Division began an arduous task of transitioning the U.S. Capitol Police from the Federal Financial System (FFS) to Momentum® Plus version 6.x. The NBC, in partnership with Delta Solutions & Technologies, Inc. and CGI-AMS implemented the system on time and within budget. The USCP went live on Momentum® on October 1, 2005. Prior to the transition, USCP was cross-serviced by the General Accountability Office (GAO). The NBC team was led by Emily Bikofsky, Marvin Velasquez, and the NBC technical staff.
As with all major implementations, the USCP project encountered pivotal and critical issues (telecommunication problems, software issues, and configuration hurdles); however, under the disciplined direction of the USCP project lead, Mr. Alan DiGuardia, these issues were resolved in a timely and proficient manner. USCP is only the third federal agency to use Momentum® Plus 6.x, and it was questionable as to whether or not the transition would be successful. With outstanding contractor support from Tim Spadafore and staff from Delta and Leonard Ciccarello and staff from CGI-AMS, the project was a success. NBC is currently providing USCP post-implementation functional, technical, and hosting support services.
USCP is using all core Momentum® Plus modules except for project cost accounting and is awaiting integration of the Maximo property system with Momentum® Plus for the next phase of their planned financial integration. NBC and CGI-AMS will be coordinating the Maximo and Momentum® Plus integration efforts over the next few years. USCP is also the first Momentum client to implement Treasury's Secure Payment System (SPS). SPS is a replacement for the Electronic Certification System (ECS), and provides a mechanism by which government agencies can review and certify payment schedules and/or create and modify payment schedules securely over a browser/web interface.
USCP joins the NBC Momentum® family: the Architect of the Capitol (AoC), the National Labor Relations Board (NRLB), Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and the Corporation for National and Community Services (CNS). As a member of the Momentum family, USCP is provided comprehensive support including maintenance of appropriate environments to support SAS 70 audits and certification and accreditation (C&A) for Momentum®.
NBC welcomes the U.S. Capitol Police to the NBC family and enthusiastically anticipates a long and successful working relationship with this high-profile and valued customer.
