This project represents a solution for mission critical services tobe provided to users through a more flexible and controlled environment, with all updated data and Reports/Interfaces/Conversions/Extensions (RICE) modifications orimprovements. SSC-Atlantic will transition to the approved and mandated standard systems and will work directly with RICE sub-team of the ERP Program’s Technical andBusiness Process Teams with regard to all site related RICE issues. SSC-Atlantic will develop interfaces with Virtual Systems Command representatives to determine Navyenterprise strategy for archiving, legacy data retention and retrieval requirements, architecture and strategy along with the lead site team’s resources with regard tovalidating site reporting requirements, data conversions, system interfaces and any required extensions to ERP solution. This project will develop software tools andinterfaces to Commercial off the Shelf (COTS) Bolt-on applications that interface with the Navy ERP system, such as Primavera or Artemis. These products are generallyaccepted bolt-on COTS products that complete the SAP application environment to achieve comprehensive project management, not otherwise provided in the native SAPapplication. The data and RICE modifications/improvements provided by the Interface Performance and Application Conversion for Navy ERP project are vital to completemission critical services.Initiatives began in FY 2008 in preparation for Navy ERP and continue into FY 2010. A spiral development is not applicable for these software projects. A cost analysis hasbeen performed for this projects. Cost savings are not expected in the near term. Projects will be externally developed and license fees are not applicable.The other FY 2010 project, the "Science and Technology Reinvention Laboratory (STRL) Personnel Management System" will replace the National Security PersonnelSystem (NSPS) which is required to be terminated not later than January 1, 2012. This new personnel management software tool will afford the opportunity and capabilitiesto assit with the career growth of employees. Supervisors will be able to record results of their employees performance as well as recognize talent by compensating them fortheir efforts in achieving organizational goals. A cost analysis has been performed. There are no savings or cost avoidance expected with this investment. This system willbe implemented to prevent a functional shortfall when NSPS is terminated. This software tool will be developed internally by SSC Pacific personnel and license fees are notapplicable. The estimated system delivery date is April 2011. There is to be no spiral development. This will be a stand alone system for each center, and will be capable ofboth implementation and sustainment.Exhibit Fund-9B Capital Investment JustificationSoftware Under $1M
