Program Budget Enterprise Service (PBES)

Abstract

The Program and Budget Enterprise Service (PBES) is a single solution software development effort that will utilize a service oriented architecture (SOA) to deliver budgeting and programming capability for the United States Air Force. PBES will replace legacy systems such as the Automated Budget Interactive Data Environment System (ABIDES) and the Resource Allocation Programming Information Decision System (RAPIDS, and will support the budget formulation and force programming process. Upon full deployment of PBES, the system will be compliant with the Standard Financial Information Structure (SFIS) and Standard Line of Accounting (SLOA) conventions, which will enable standardization of data across the Department of Defense (DoD). Utilizing Business Process Re-engineering (BPR), the Air Force has designated PBES as the solution to deliver traceability of financial data in support of the programming and budgeting processes. Through the use of BPR, PBES will address excessive overhead, outdated business practices and other time-consuming support activities. PBES will make the budget formulation process more efficient by incorporating business best practices, organizing programming and budgeting personnel, as well as utilizing current technology. PBES will also eliminate checks and balances required of older technology, taking advantage of automated reconciliation services. In addition, the solution will allow the use of Authoritative Data Sources (ADS) for data exposure, resulting in more timely and accurate budget submissions to Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), Congress, and other internal and external customers. PBES was originally conceived to be a multiple-release program. In FY2016, based on streamlining efforts to maximize efficiencies and synergies between the three Releases, PBES will be consolidated into a single delivery effort. Under the revised single effort, PBES will deliver the following capabilities: baseline extension, allocation of budgetary resources, development of budgetary options for the President's Budget submission, and the integration Congressional marks into the appropriated budget.
