Investment Detail
The DHS-OCHCO-HRIT Portfolio will automate and integrate business processes across all functions of the DHS Human Capital Business Reference Model using authoritative data in a secure manner to provide an exceptional user experience at an affordable price. The ROI is acquiring HRIT systems and or solutions that support changing HR policies and practices that provide flexibilities and advantages to improve DHS's national security mission, ability to innovate and transform our HR programs to meet mission needs and garner trust in our workforce by providing effective HR services. Each project in the Portfolio follows the appropriate DHS' System Engineer Life Cycle (SELC) and the acquisition life cycle with awareness to historical data/lessons learned. Both qualitative and quantitative methods will be used to analyze ROI including primary and secondary costs beneficial internally and externally. OCHCO, HCBS leadership will require potential service providers to provide demonstrations during the AA studies to support assessment of the potential products against the requirements and evaluation criteria. Potential service providers will inform OCHCO, HCBS about the amount of configuration and/or customization that might be needed for the product to optimally meet expectations. The Integrated Project Teams (IPT) will participate with service providers for analysis of how potential products meet the requirements and evaluation criteria. These evaluations will be used to narrow the product/service selection for pilots and/or identify product/service acquisition recommendations to the HRIT governance boards. Additional ROI's include contract consolidation for IT capabilities along with benefits from the USA Staffing contract which consolidated 8 DHS Interagency Agreements with OPM. USA Staffing consolidation nets a 10 percent discount for the Department with an annual savings of $293K and yields $1.7M over 5 years. The Workers Compensation-Medical Case Management Services (WC-MCMS) a result of TSA need and HRIT portfolio review showed a 9.6% average increase in workers compensation costs annually. The WC-MCMS will deliver on the Presidential POWER initiative by returning employees back to work sooner and reducing worker's compensation costs. Each Component pays for services required and projected cost savings is approximately $112M over 5 years. Various other Department-wide HRIT O&M projects (USAJOBS, NFC Payroll & Service Reporting, EHRI and HRLOB) have significant return on investment that map to the investment's planned outcomes.
