Investment Detail
ROI of ETS reported steady at (ROI ~137%, as of 08/2014). The benefits of ETS are the following:
-ETS unified over 80 Executive Branch agencies to a common, secure, web-based, automated service.
-Eliminated over 250 disparate, non-web-based and paper-driven systems.
-Leveraged the government s purchasing power.
-Increased online adoption.
-Reduced reimbursement cycle time.
-Significantly reduced voucher costs.
The ETS master contract expired on November 11, 2013. The ETS1 Extensions have been in effect as of Nov 2013, with transition efforts to ETS2 scheduled to be completed by the end of FY15.
ETS continues to effectively manage the acquisition of travel services to ensure continued efficiencies. ETS is currently under the ETS1 extension, with transition efforts to ETS2 scheduled to be completed by end of FY15. Therefore, the intent is to no longer report on ETS as an investment after FY15. And while the ETS PMO is considered a managing partner of the investment, the PMO is the acquisition manager and agency & vendor partner on the ETS contract, not the individual travel service manager of the contract (which is managed by direct relationship between the vendor and agency). Hence, the intent is to retire the ETS investment as part of upcoming business case submissions.
