The NBS Project is replacing the NIH administrative and financial core operations systems, including the general ledger, AP/AR, budget, procurement, supply, travel, and property systems. The NBS project has been approved by the NIH Management and Budget Work Group and the NIH IT Investment Review Board. This investment is reviewed annually, by both the NIH Administrative Management System Steering Committee and the NIH ITIRB most recently on March 18, 2008 The next annual review will take place in April 2009. Both committees continue to recommend the operations and development of the NBS. The project supports HHS Strategic Goal 8 Achieve excellence in management practices and PMA initiatives for financial performance and expanded e-government. The NBS supports e-gov objectives by establishing a web-based COTS E-Gov business system that automates internal processes to improve the federal government's use of IT and to standardize the sharing of financial data between and among government agencies as well as deploying eTravel. NBS development for unique NIH functionality has been briefed and coordinated with UFMS. NBS has the following strategic objectives:- Eliminate redundant and outdated financial systems by implementing a modern integrated HHS-wide system; - Produce accurate, timely, reliable and relevant financial information to help HHS managers make fact-based operational decisions; - Comply with applicable federal financial management system requirements; - Strengthen internal controls by instituting standard business rules, data requirements, and accounting policies across HHS; - Streamline operational activities to achieve more efficient and cost-effective business performance; - Continue to achieve unqualified audit opinions on annual financial statements. The NIH chose a COTS product; Oracle E-Business Suite and partnered COTS bolt-ons (GELCO for travel, Compusearch PRISM for contracts and Sunflower Assets for property management). Selection of the Enterprise Resource Performance solution is in keeping with OMB Circulars No. A-127 and A-130 to give first priority to purchasing for Federal applications. The NBS deployed the General Ledger and Travel in 2003, Warehouse Management and Inventory in Feb 2007, Acquistions and Property Management in May 2007 and will complete the GovTrip integration in calendar year 2010, and Service Supply Fund operations in 2011. NBS is implementing the HHS Enterprise Performance Life Cycle process in CY 2009.

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.

2. Will this project require the agency to hire additional FTE's?
no
3. If the summary of spending has changed from the FY2008 President's budget request, briefly explain those changes.
It is anticipated that ARRA Stimulus Funding will be received. This funding is now being considered and reviewed by the NBS oversight committees. A rebaselining request is being prepared and will be submitted once the FY 2010 budget review process is completed. This rebaselining will correct milestone and budgetary figures in current and prior years. These corrections are necessary due to delays in the GovTrip implementation, new propsed upgrades and development activities and changes to software functionality due to invoice problems. Corrections are also needed due to the misplacement of contractor expenses as FTE costs. This area is continuing to be researched and corrected in the next few months. Overall. the net change based on these corrections will result in only a 2% increase in the overall budget.

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.

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.
NIH OD NIH Business System (NBS) -- The NBS Project will replace the NIH administrative and financial core operations systems and is a component of the department-wide effort of the Health and Human Services Unified Financial Management System (UFMS).The HHS implementation of UFMS proceeded in parallel to NIH's implementation of NBS.
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.
032-000
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.

Answer the following questions to describe how you are managing investment risks.

1. Does the investment have a Risk Management Plan?
yes
1.a. If yes, what is the date of the plan?
2008-11-25
1.b. Has the Risk Management Plan been significantly changed since last year's submission to OMB?
no
3. Briefly describe how investment risks are reflected in the life cycle cost estimate and investment schedule:
The Risk Action Management and Mitigation Plan (RAMMP) for the NIH Business System (NBS) is performed throughout the life cycle of the project and includes risk identification, risk quantification, risk planning and risk management. Each item identified is assigned a cost estimate based on probability, cost impact, schedule impact, technical impact, and other impacts as identified. These cost estimates are incorporated into the project life cycle cost estimates during project planning and were incorporated into the analysis of alternatives for this selected alternative; therefore the project cost is also risk-adjusted in the summary of spending table. New risks are analyzed, prioritized, reported against, and incorporated into the overall project plan to effectively manage the project risk until it can either be mitigated or accepted. This incorporates the risk management activities throughout the NBS project's life cycle. Projects risks are regularly monitored to limit their impact on schedule or cost modification. Risk reviews occur twice a month and are attended by all federal and contractor leads. Items identified are entered and tracked into a commercial product, Risk Radar, as the tool for risk management, mitigation planning and monitoring. This process proactively identifies potential problems and addresses associated solutions when it is easier and less risky to do so, thus preventing project-related issues and risk. It also enables more effective use of resources by facilitating the early identification of potential problems and provides input into management decisions regarding resource allocation.

COST & SCHEDULE


1. Does the earned value management system meet the criteria in ANSI/EIA Standard 748?
yes
2. Is the CV% or SV% greater than ± 10%?
no
3. Has the investment re-baselined during the past fiscal year?
no
