Defense Enterprise Acntng and Mgt Sys (DEAMS)
Abstract
The Defense Enterprise Accounting and Management System (DEAMS) program previously requested funding as a Software and Digital Technology Pilot Programs, an OSD initiative that originated from the FY 2018 NDAA Sections 873/874 in which all lifecycle funding is consolidated in Budget activity 8. The DAF is no longer requesting consideration for the Software and Digital Technology Pilot Program. This program element develops required capability and functionality to existing financial management systems in order to comply with audit and transparency requirements, in addition to, other upgrades that provide efficiencies in processing financial transactions. This program element also supports studies and analysis to improve future program planning and execution. DEAMS is a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) solution based on the Oracle e-Business Suite (EBS) and provides an auditable, modern accounting and finance management capability. The DAF is preparing to transition DEAMS to the fifth and final phase of the Business Capability Acquisition Cycle (BCAC) process known as Capability Support. New system requirements are managed through the program backlog by the Program Management Office (PMO) and Functional Management Office (FMO) and released on a regular cadence as usable capability via Agile methodology. The PMO construct, along with the application of Agile principles allows the program to properly plan system requirements, deliver early capability to the end users, achieve early return on investment of taxpayer dollars, mitigate risk, reduce waste, effectively respond to change, and continuously improve processes. The DAF is planning to increase DEAMS usage within the acquisition community to include acquisition program executive offices, laboratories, test centers, and air logistics complexes. These deployments will add an additional 4,500 users for a total of 21,500 users. DEAMS is compliant with the Clinger-Cohen Act and the DoD's Business Enterprise Architecture (BEA). DEAMS is key to DAF compliance with the Financial Improvement and Audit Readiness (FIAR) requirement. This requirement supports performance of a full financial audit as required by title 10 U.S.C. Chapter 9A, Sec 240-D. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such programs funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. In FY22 0.810M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY23 0.890M is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element. 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.
