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.
The HHS Enterprise E-mail initiative designed and implemented an enterprise-wide E-mail and calendaring solution to meet the Department's needs. This initiative was one of several strategic IT initiatives associated with the Department's enterprise-wide IT consolidation effort and supported the Secretary's One HHS vision. The primary goal of this initiative was to consolidate and centrally manage the Department's e-mail infrastructure that was housed throughout 7 disparate systems. This is a close-out Exhibit 300. The implementation phase of this project was completed in Q2 of FY08. The O&M phase of this project will officially begin on October 1, 2008 when control is transferred to the HHS Program Support Center (PSC). When PSC takes control of this initiative they will report this initiative's OMB 300 data as part of their OMB 300 submission for the HHS Consolidated Infrastructure. Therefore, all of the data for FY09 and beyond have been removed from this OMB 300.

Initiative Name
Expanded E-Government
13.a. Briefly and specifically describe for each selected how this asset directly supports the identified initiative(s)? (e.g. If E-Gov is selected, is it an approved shared service provider or the managing partner?)
HHS Mail closely aligns with the Expanded E-Gov initiative, which seeks to provide timely and accurate information while ensuring security and privacy. HHS Mail will streamline and modernize HHS' legacy E-Mail infrastructure, consolidating several disparate e-mail systems into one virtual e-mail system. Standardizing on one e-mail system will make it more efficient to collaborate and share data across govt. boundaries, and make it easier for private citizens to communicate with the Department.

no
15. Is this investment for information technology?
yes

SUMMARY OF SPEND


1. Provide the total estimated life-cycle cost for this investment by completing the following table. All amounts represent budget authority in millions, and are rounded to three decimal places. Federal personnel costs should be included only in the row designated Government FTE Cost, and should be excluded from the amounts shown for Planning, Full Acquisition, and Operation/Maintenance. The total estimated annual cost of the investment is the sum of costs for Planning, Full Acquisition, and Operation/Maintenance. For Federal buildings and facilities, life-cycle costs should include long term energy, environmental, decommissioning, and/or restoration costs. The costs associated with the entire life-cycle of the investment should be included in this report.

All amounts represent Budget Authority

Note: For the cross-agency investments, this table should include all funding (both managing partner and partner agencies).

Government FTE Costs should not be included as part of the TOTAL represented.

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.
HHS Enterprise E-mail System (HHSMail)
3. Is this investment identified in a completed (contains a target architecture) and approved segment architecture?
yes
3.a. If yes, provide the name of the segment architecture as provided in the agency’s most recent annual EA Assessment.

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.

PART TWO


RISK


You should perform a risk assessment during the early planning and initial concept phase of the investment's life-cycle, develop a risk-adjusted life-cycle cost estimate and a plan to eliminate, mitigate or manage risk, and be actively managing risk throughout the investment's life-cycle.

1. Does the investment have a Risk Management Plan?
yes
1.a. If yes, what is the date of the plan?
2007-05-01

The project managers use the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) and other life cycle management methodologies to manage risk factors. And, the security team uses system audits/reviews and industry standard tools and appliances to manage security risks.
