Mixed Life Cycle 
  
I. A. 8. Provide a brief summary and justification for this investment, including a brief description of how this, closes in part or in whole, an identified agency performance gap:  
(long text - 2500 characters) 
To fully align foreign policy and development assistance to support the President’s National Security Strategy and Management Agenda, the Department of State (DoS) and U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) have begun integrating common, overseas management structures. This collaboration will help both organizations execute joint goals, such as providing employee support, increasing operational efficiencies, and reducing redundancies and costs for the taxpayer. To implement this initiative, a DoS/USAID Joint Management Council (JMC) was created to include seven working groups to address issues surrounding specific management functions. Working with the JMC and supporting the FY2004-2009 Joint Strategic Plan and FY2007 Annual Performance Plan, a USAID team developed an approach exploring the most effective means to coordinate, optimize, and potentially integrate the respective overseas Sensitive But Unclassified (SBU) IT infrastructures and corresponding policies in support of the common, overseas structures. USAID resources will work jointly with DoS to plan and execute the critical coordination and optimization of the overseas infrastructure environments in a 3-phase development approach during FYs 07-11 that includes: 1) Project Ramp-Up, 2) Piloting and Engineering, and 3) Overseas Deployment. During the second phase, USAID and DoS will determine the feasibility of the network perimeter portion of the new architecture design while also focusing on the harmonization of the risk and policy differences. These actions will allow DoS and USAID to create more near-term collaboration opportunities at Tier 1 posts while the new architecture and operational support model are engineered and then tested during pilots to ensure all business requirements have been met before a full deployment overseas is agreed upon. Note that this business case assumes full funding provision for DoS particularly in the second phase (to match or exceed USAID’s investment in FYs 2007 – 2009) and, depending on the outcome of the second phase, additional funds may be requested for this effort by DoS and USAID in FYs 2010 and 2011. This effort provides several strategic benefits to USAID, DoS, and the U.S. Government overall including economies of scale, support of the goals of both Transformational Diplomacy and Rightsizing and Regionalization efforts, and the opportunity to build a more optimized and coordinated environment for the Foreign Affairs community.

(long text - 2500 characters) 
In FYs 2005 and 2006, USAID and DoS planning and engineering teams worked together to define the best method of supporting the common, overseas management structures from an IT perspective. After analyzing the benefits, advantages, and challenges with a number of options, the two agencies agreed to conduct two proofs of concepts overseas and to collaborate on issues requiring resolution. This FY 2008 business case and revised funding request are based on this analysis and subsequent discussions. 
  
Section D: Performance Information  
In order to successfully address this area of the exhibit 300, performance goals must be provided for the agency and be linked to the annual performance plan. The investment must discuss the agency's mission and strategic goals, and performance measures must be provided. These goals need to map to the gap in the agency's strategic goals and objectives this investment is designed to fill. They are the internal and external performance benefits this investment is expected to deliver to the agency (e.g., improve efficiency by 60 percent, increase citizen participation by 300 percent a year to achieve an overall citizen participation rate of 75 percent by FY 2xxx, etc.). The goals must be clearly measurable investment outcomes, and if applicable, investment outputs. They do not include the completion date of the module, milestones, or investment, or general goals, such as, significant, better, improved that do not have a quantitative or qualitative measure.
Agencies must use Table 1 below for reporting performance goals and measures for all non-IT investments and for existing IT investments that were initiated prior to FY 2005. The table can be extended to include measures for years beyond FY 2006.

(long text - 2500 characters) 
  
I. F. 3. 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.whitehouse.gov/omb/egov/.  
FEA SRM Component - Use existing SRM Components or identify as "NEW". A "NEW" component is one not already identified as a service component in the FEA SRM. FEA Service Component Reused - 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 Porject Identifier (UPI) code from the OMB Ex 300 or Ex 53 submission. Internal or External Reuse? - '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 comonent 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. Funding Percentage - Please provide the percentage of the BY requested funding amount used for each service component listed in the table. If external, provide the funding level transferred to another agency to pay for the service.
