through a set of common and repeatable processes
and tools.

LoB Vision Statements
Optimized State of being standardized,
interoperable, extensible and cost effective
9
IT Infrastructure Current State

• IT infrastructure costs are rising at a rate
  faster than IT as a whole substantial savings
  are possible
• Costs for FY06 were 19.9B and IT budgets will
  remain fairly static supporting
• Telecommunications
• Data Networks
• Desktop/Seat Management
• Data Centers
• Help Desk
• Need to address cost efficiencies and ROI,
  performance metrics, service levels,
  interoperability and collaboration, governance,
  standards, transition strategies, human capital

10
Geospatial Current State

• Geospatial information supports many missions,
  including national security, law enforcement,
  health care, the environment, and natural
  resources conservation
• Twenty Five Federal departments and agencies
  independently collect or produce geospatial
  information, or invest in potentially duplicative
  geospatial capabilities
• Despite the prevalence of geospatial information,
  there continues to be room for improvement in the
  planning and coordination of geospatial
  activities and procurement at the Federal level

11
BFE Current State

• Most agencies do not have automated budgeting
  systems to accomplish budgeting functions   
• Depend on general-use office tools such as
  Microsoft Excel and Word
• Some have database and integrating software
  (including GOTS) to automatically incorporate
  numbers in document production and interact with
  other agency applications
• A few agencies have implemented elements of BFE
  systems that have significantly reduced workload,
  but no agency has a system with which it is
  totally satisfied. 
• Only one agency has the capability to transmit
  data directly to OMB's MAX A-11 central budget
  system

12
BFE Current State (cont.)

• OMB's MAX A-11 central budget system is based on
  an integrated relational database and uses
  web-based technologies to collect data from
  agencies.  
• It includes thousands of automated business rules
  that dynamically evolve throughout the Budget
  process
• The OMB MAX A-11 desktop client must be installed
  and periodically updated by agency users.
• Increasingly restrictive agency LAN and
  workstation security policies are becoming a
  significant problem

13
RFI Responses

• Asked practitioners of IT infrastructure,
  Geospatial data and Budgeting systems,
  components, and services to provide information
  of value for common solutions at the enterprise
  level for Federal agencies
• Best practices, lessons learned, and attributes
  of effective management and decision-making
  processes
• Architectural approaches that enable integration
  of diverse solutions and facilitate increased
  collaboration and secure data sharing
• Received significant volume and quality of
  responses for each LoB

14
Wrap Up

• LoB success requires public and private sector
  commitment
• Responsiveness to RFI was valuable contribution
• LoBs are prudent utilization of taxpayer
  resources and unprecedented opportunity
• To refocus agency resources on core mission and
  citizen-centric services
• Small investment for the potentially significant
  benefit
• LoBs have and will likely result in business
  opportunities for private sector interests
• Partnership can promote and advance technology,
  standard setting, service practices and
  governance infrastructure that contributes to
  success beyond public sector use
