General Fund Enterprise Business System

Abstract

DV6 - General Fund Enterprise Business System-Sensitive Activities (GFEBS-SA): GFEBS-SA is a National Security System (NSS) leveraging the GFEBS base system as the Army's core financial management system, certified by the Chief Financial Officer Council, to provide the same financial capabilities of GFEBS but on SIPR, with additional security features to protect national security information. GFEBS-SA was implemented to protect sensitive information and enable clean auditability, allowing the Army to process sensitive and classified financial transactions that cannot be processed in the fully-fielded GFEBS base system without compromising classified information, missions, or endangering soldiers. GFEBS-SA was developed and deployed as an essential financial program designed to enable the auditability that is needed to comply with the Chief Financial Officers (CFO) Act, the Federal Financial Management Improvement Act (FFMIA), and prevent compromise of data that could cause grave harm to U.S. forces. GFEBS-SA was fully deployed in 2020 to 3,000 users across 100 locations worldwide and processes Secret Collateral and below information. Services are capable of being upgraded throughout the life of the program in order to incorporate advances in best business practices and technology, and will modify capability to maintain a synchronized software baseline with the GFEBS base system to maintain efficiencies in capability enhancements, training documentation, and sustainment support. In FY 2021, GFEBS-SA received approval to proceed with entry into capability support (sustainment) and application capability support transitioned to Army Shared Services Center (ASSC). FY 2022 RDT&E funds supported system upgrades and enhancements, which re-synchronized the GFEBS-SA baseline with the GFEBS base system to account for any capability upgrades that were made to the base system while GFEBS-SA was in development. GFEBS and GFEBS-SA must remain synchronized to reduce sustainment costs through shared development across two Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) baselines . FY 2023 RDT&E funds will be utilized to conduct system enhancements to meet OSD and Army data exchange and interface requirements. The additional capability will support both compliancy to meet audit requirements and updated interfaces to replace sun-setting systems. DV6 has no RDT&E FY 2024 funding request.
