Business Enterprise Information System (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 Standard Financial Information Structure (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 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 to accomplish deployment/implementation of BEIS capabilities are still needed in order to achieve Full Operating Capability (FOC). These efforts have been accelerated to support the Department Auditability goals and targets.
