The Program Support Center (PSC), Financial Management Service (FMS), Division of Financial Operations (DFO), provides a full range of financial and accounting services for a variety of HHS customers and other federal agencies. AFPS supports both Human Capital and Budget Performance Integration initiatives by allowing the department to manage human resources costs against budgeted costs. AFPS fills this performance gap as it provides payroll and cost accounting services to the entire Department, and is the payroll interface between the payroll system (DFAS) and the accounting systems - the HHS Unified Financial Management System (UFMS) and the remaining legacy accounting systems. The AFPS provides a systematic interface of payroll accounting information necessary to account for disbursements, obligations, and accruals for personnel costs; generates accounting transactions; and, produce detailed expenditure control reports. The AFPS is in the steady-state phase of its life-cycle and will be fully integrated into the HHS UFMS as it is deployed throughout the Department.The Accounting for Pay System (AFPS) is scheduled to be integrated into the HHS Unified Financial Management System (UFMS) in FY07 although the budget for AFPS will continue separately through 2010. Continued operation of AFPS is required to provide accounting and financial management services to the PSC and its customer agencies.

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 Accounting for Pay System (AFPS)
3. Is this investment identified in a completed (contains a target architecture) and approved segment architecture?

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.
