General Fund Enterprise Business System (GFEBS)

Mission — General Fund Enterprise Business System (GFEBS) source

This Program Element (PE) supports the 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 2023 RDT&E funding supported continuous enhancements to the GFEBS-SA SIPR capabilities to ensure appropriate security measures are in place to protect sensitive financial data. GFEBS-SA RDT&E efforts have been rolled into GFEBS (GF5) therefore DV6 has no funding request beyond FY 2023. General Fund Enterprise Business System (GFEBS): GFEBS is the Army's core financial management system for administering its General Fund. Full Deployment was reached in 2012 and the system is currently in the Capability Support (sustainment) phase of the Business Capability Acquisition Cycle, focused on modernization, cyber security, and system enhancements while also conducting capability enhancements to meet policy and deliver accurate Army financial information. GFEBS was implemented to fulfill the needs and enable the Army to comply with the Federal Financial Management Improvement Act, deployed to over 35,000 users across 200 locations worldwide. GFEBS was developed using a commercial off-the-shelf Enterprise Resource Planning system that is certified by the Chief, Financial Officer Council and provides six core financial functions (United States General Ledger (USGL), Cost Management, Funds Control, Payable Management, Real Property, Receivable Management and Reports). FY 2025 Base dollars in the amount of $1.995 million will continue to support enhancements, such as system upgrade in support interfaces to improve system performance, accountability, and auditability efforts. These funds will be used 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. GFEBS RDT&E funds capability enhancements designed to meet audit readiness standards and system changes as prioritized by the functional sponsor and user community through the Tactical Financial Information Council, a Senior Executive Service/General Officer-level board. The RDT&E funding will support the increase in mission performance and improvement of automated system processes and continue to support modernization efforts aligned with the Original Equipment Manufacturer's Systems Applications and Products (SAP) next generation capability. Activities include code de-customization, data enablement, and improved automated data access to prevent end of support for the current database and platform. Funds will also support acquisition trades and market research on alternatives for SAP based finance/logistics consolidation to evaluate potential efficiencies by reducing platforms and licenses. GFEBS must take critical steps towards integration and implementation of the next generation of Enterprise Business Systems capabilities. This effort will address the obsolescence of existing SAP Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) real property and financial management platforms that the vendor plans to sunset around FY 2032. GFEBS modernization work sets the conditions for development of a converged, post-modern Defense Business System that streamlines and integrates the Army's core business functions. The effort on the individual programs must consider benefits of consolidation. GFEBS must identify redundant processes as candidates for business process re-engineering. Funding will support the 1) market research of Industry best practices, 2) Initiation of an Army Enterprise Development Environment to enable prototyping which reduces risk by aiding the requirements development. This environment includes: Cloud-hosted infrastructure, applications, and programs and tools, 3) government Program Management and Technical Service contractors needed to plan for and manage the initiation of the post-modern system implementation effort. FY 2026 GFEBS has no RDT&E funding request.
