(long text - 2500 characters) 

USAID initiated the FSI project to acquire and incrementally implement, through successive phases and product releases, a single, Agency-wide integrated core financial system called Phoenix. Phoenix, which is CGI Federal’s Momentum software configured for USAID, replaced the New Management System (NMS) legacy financial management system. Phoenix is compliant with the requirements issued by the Federal Accounting Standards Advisory Board (FASAB) and Financial Systems Integration Office (FSIO), which is governed by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Office of Federal Financial Management (OFFM). The use of a COTS software package has helped USAID provide standard financial business processes and a single integrated financial management system across the Agency. It has also led to achieving compliance with the Federal Financial Management Improvement Act (FFMIA), as well as “Green” for current status on the President's Management Agenda (PMA) for Improved Financial Performance Scorecard in FY 2007.

The FSI project is in "steady state." The Phoenix financial management system has been fully delivered, is now operationalized, and is fulfilling its mission as USAID's core accounting system of record. The FSI steady state program includes new operational improvements, integration activities with other Agency Business System Modernization initiatives, and continued work to demonstrate compliance with Federal accounting standards and regulations. Operational improvements include implementing performance budgeting within Phoenix and building a crosswalk for Phoenix data to the new Foreign Assistance Coordination and Tracking System (FACTS). Integration activities will include designing, implementing, and supporting interfaces to systems such as the E2 Travel system, Consolidated Overseas Accountability Support Toolbox (COAST), and continued interface support to the GLobal Acquisition & Assistance System (GLAAS). Demonstrating compliance with federal regulations will include efforts to align Phoenix and the operations within the office of the Chief Financial Officer to evolving Department of Treasury and FSIO requirements that respond to the “Government-Wide Modernization Act.”

The Agency's goal is to increase Phoenix functionality, automate interfaces with other Agency systems, maintain compliance with federal regulations, and continue to provide superior operational support to Phoenix users worldwide.

I. F. 4. Service Component Reference Model (SRM) Table :  
Identify the service components funded by this major IT investment (e.g., knowledge management, content management, customer relationship management, etc.). Provide this information in the format of the following table. For detailed guidance regarding components, please refer to http://www.egov.gov.

a. Use existing SRM Components or identify as “NEW”. A “NEW” component is one not already identified as a service component in the FEA SRM.
b. A reused component is one being funded by another investment, but being used by this investment. Rather than answer yes or no, identify the reused service component funded by the other investment and identify the other investment using the Unique Project Identifier (UPI) code from the OMB Ex 300 or Ex 53 submission.
c. ‘Internal’ reuse is within an agency. For example, one agency within a department is reusing a service component provided by another agency within the same department. ‘External’ reuse is one agency within a department reusing a service component provided by another agency in another department. A good example of this is an E-Gov initiative service being reused by multiple organizations across the federal government.
d. Please provide the percentage of the BY requested funding amount used for each service component listed in the table. If external, provide the percentage of the BY requested funding amount transferred to another agency to pay for the service. The percentages in this column can, but are not required to, add up to 100%.

(long text - 2500 characters) 
  1. Vendor Self Service (VSS): VSS is critical to meeting the Presidents Management Agenda (PMA) mandates for e-Gov and also key to successfully implementing the newly selected grants and acquisitions systems. VSS is a web-based application separate from Phoenix that allows an agency and its vendors to complete their procurement and invoicing activities electronically. It provides a method for vendors to view and respond to various business opportunities with real-time interaction. Deploying VSS for electronic submission of invoices and enabling vendors to research the status of their payments on-line will allow USAID to move one step closer towards PMA mandates for e-Gov.
  2. C-W e-Travel system, E2.: The Phoenix Travel Accounting subsystem facilitates and tracks financial activity associated with the travel management process. The Phoenix travel system is intended for use with a third party e-Travel system, E2. The travel accounting module will allow for the following benefits: -Bridge Phoenix with the C-W Travel Manager system. - Third Party Payment Vouchers - Withholding Tax allowance - System Determined Advanced Liquidations - Automatically Generate Obligation Documents
  3. The Federal Agencies' Centralized Trial-Balance System (FACTS II): The Department of Treasury is creating this system that will allow agencies to submit one set of accounting data. This data includes budgetary information that is required for the Report on Budget Execution and Budgetary Resources (SF 133), the Year-End Closing Statement (FMS 2108), and much of the initial data that will appear in the prior year column of the Program and Financing (P&F) Schedule of the President's Budget. Building an automated interface with this system into Phoenix will facilitate real-time reporting with the DoT.
  4. Contractor Central Registry Connector (CCRC): CCRC is critical to meeting the PMA mandates for e-Gov and is key to successfully implementing the newly selected grants and acquisitions systems. CCRC captures CCR information from the GSA web-site for updating or adding vendor records in the Phoenix vendor table. CCR includes vendor business details, mailing address details, proprietary information, and sensitive information. It is the designated site for vendors to have a single point of contact for updating their information for all Federal agencies. USAID implemented CCRC as an interface with CCR in November 2006.
