General Fund Enterprise Business System

Abstract

Funds are requested for a Sensitive Activities (SA) instanceof the General Fund Enterprise Business System (GFEBS). GFEBS is a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System certified by the Chief Financial Officers Council (CFOC). GFEBS has trained and supports over 53,000 end users at 227 installations worldwide and is the Army's solution to the current capability gap in accounting and financial management. Army still has classified and sensitive financial activity remaining in legacy systems that cannot be processed in our new, fully-fielded GFEBS. To protect sensitive information and enable auditability, Army needs a separate instance of GFEBS operated on a secure network (SIPRNET) for processing sensitive and classified financial transactions. GFEBS-SA will be implemented in two functional releases to 3,000 users across 100 locations worldwide. GFEBS-SA will integrate seamlessly with GFEBS to provide secure, web-based financial execution and reporting capabilities to the Army's classified and sensitive activities. SA is envisioned as a fully functional GFEBS application operated on a secure network (SIPRNET), including additional performance requirements designed to enhance security. SA is essential to comply with the Chief Financial Officers (CFO) Act and the Federal Financial Management Improvement Act (FFMIA); includes the additional security controls; shall be delivered NLT 3QFY15 with all capability and required cross domain interfaces. SA will be accessible on SIPRnet domain, contain Secret Collateral level information, and below. SA will utilize a cross-domain solution to exchange summary level financial transaction data to GFEBS and other required systems, enabling total general ledger accountability in one system. In accordance with 2010 NDAA, GFEBS-SA willl support the legal requirements to achieve full audit readiness of all DOD finanical statement by 2017. Without the SA increment, GFEBS will be unable to achieve an unqualified audit opinion or achieve audit readiness. GFEBS and GFEBS-SA will provide Army's decision makers with relevant, reliable, and timely information for decision making. RDTE funds are required to execute the System Integrator contract to develop and test the SA solution.
