Business Enterprise Information Services (BEIS)

Abstract

Program Mission: The BEIS builds upon the mature, existing infrastructure of DFAS Corporate Database/DFAS Corporate Warehouse (DCD/DCW), Defense Departmental Reporting System (DDRS), and Defense Cash Accountability System (DCAS) to provide timely, accurate, and reliable business information from across the DoD to support auditable financial statements as well as provide detailed information visibility for management in support of the Warfighter. Concept/Scope: Ensure data compliance with SFIS standards; provide security-defined, enterprise-level access to information for ad hoc management queries; and produce external financial management reports/statements based on standardized data. BEIS provides solutions to these goals by: • Establishing the authoritative source for Standard Financial Information Structure (SFIS) values and providing for standardization by implementing SFIS and United States Standard General Ledger (USSGL) compliant financial reporting capabilities for Audited Financial Statements and Budgetary Reports. • Providing an enterprise-wide information environment that will serve as the single source for enterprise-wide financial information. • Serving as the DoD-wide system for Treasury Reporting. • Providing decision makers with significantly greater access to financial information through data visibility and business intelligence (e.g., Executive Dashboard). The BEIS functional baseline encompasses a family of services organized into six distinct lines of business: • Financial Reporting Services: BEIS will provide SFIS compliant financial statements and budgetary reports for DoD. • Cash Accountability Reporting Services: BEIS will provide SFIS compliant reports of the Department’s cash position to the Treasury. • Enterprise Level Business Intelligence Services: BEIS will provide data aggregation services, collecting select transaction level data from DoD systems of record to support business intelligence. BEIS will also deliver corporate business intelligence capabilities such as contingency reporting, status of funds reporting and management dashboards. • Integration Support Services: This support will be funded by the requesting activity on a fee-for-service basis. • Reference Data Services: BEIS will establish a centralized repository for maintaining and exposing referential data to the DoD enterprise. This encompasses the SFIS Library data, Master Appropriation data, Corporate Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) data, and the Transportation Global Edit Table data. • General Ledger Services: BEIS will provide general ledger (i.e., financial management information) services for USSOCOM and select Defense Agencies. Impact: BEIS will provide DoD enterprise-wide financial visibility to meet Enterprise Transition Plan milestones. It will serve as the centralized financial data source and the single source for enterprise Audited Financial Statements and Budgetary Reports. Through the BEIS enterprise business intelligence capability, DoD decision makers will gain improved visibility into the information they need to make strategic budget decisions. The BEIS financial management capabilities will be used by the Military Services, Defense Agencies, and the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller). Modernization efforts for the functionality identified for BEIS Family of Systems (FoS) Increment 1 continued to be completed in FY10; however, there are further enhancements/product improvements required to accomplish deployment/implementation of BEIS Increment 1 capabilities in order to achieve Full Operating Capability (FOC), as well as additional modernization efforts associated with BEIS Increment II capability (i.e., Funds Balance w/Treasury and Reconciliation) which require out-year funding. Approval. The BEIS is a Business Transformation Agency (BTA) acquisition program with oversight provided by the Defense Business Systems Acquisition Executive (DBSAE) who serves as the Milestone Decision Authority and Component Acquisition Executive over the program. The MDA granted Milestone B approval in September 2008. The Financial Management Investment Review Board (FM IRB) provided concurrence with the FY08, FY09 and FY10 BEIS obligation authority requests, which were subsequently certified by the Defense Business Systems Management Committee (DBSMC). The BEIS milestones are published in the Enterprise Transition Plans (ETP) that were provided annually to Congress. The ETP also reflects that the BEIS will support the Financial Visibility Business Value Added (BVA) impact of achieving financial transparency. Milestone C and Full Deployment Decision Review for BEIS FoS Increment I was achieved in 3rd Quarter FY09, completing the modernization efforts for the functionality identified for this increment. Program Transfer to DLA as a result of BTA disestablishment in FY2011 per SECDEF decision.
