Financial Management Information Systems Development

Abstract

This program element develops upgrades to existing financial management systems. These upgrades are required to comply with auditability and transparency requirements as well as efficiencies in processing financial transactions. This program element also supports studies and analysis to improve future program planning and execution. There are four projects within this program element: Program and Budget Enterprise Services (PBES), Cost Estimating Modeling (CEM), Defense Enterprise Accounting and Management System (DEAMS) Increment 1 (Inc 1), and DEAMS Increment 2 (Inc 2). PBES is a software development effort that will utilize a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) to deliver budgeting and programming capability for the Air Force and will replace legacy systems (Automated Budget Interactive Data Environment System (ABIDES) and Resource Allocation Programming Information Decision System (RAPIDS)) that support the budget formulation and force programming process. CEM is a knowledge-based study effort to improve Air Force-wide cost estimating by analyzing cost data and recommending changes to estimating models, methods, and tools. DEAMS is the Air Force's target core accounting and financial management solution, and is a key component of the long-term business process improvements needed to sustain auditability and correct financial system weaknesses. DEAMS Increment 1 post critical change is focusing on upgrading the software to Oracle Release 12; upgrading the hardware infrastructure; improving reporting capabilities; and deploying to Pacific Air Forces (PACAF), US Air Force in Europe (USAFE), and incremental users in Air Force Space Command (AFSPC) and Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC). DEAMS Increment 2 is a new start in FY19 initial business capability and acquisition strategy planning. Planned efforts include incorporating Increment 1 deferred acquisition capabilities to AFSPC and AFMC. Activities also include studies and analysis to support both current program planning and execution and future program planning. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver financial management information systems capabilities. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program elements 0605826F, 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605830F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605898F, and 0605833F. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.
