| Challenge: |
All Federal government agencies have been directed by the President's Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to
implement a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) electronic travel solution.
|
| Solution: |
Starry Associates was contracted by a government agency to investigate their legacy travel system and interfaces into the
accounting system. From the analysis, Starry Associates then developed and implemented the "Back Office" interfaces into the new e-Travel system.
Once the e-Travel System was in a production state, Starry Associates derived a crosswalk process that was applied to the financial management system.
This allowed for the transparent conversion of data, and an immediate "go-live" support of the e-Travel system upon completion of the financial
management system conversion. In addition, Starry Associates completed the project ahead of schedule, including program changes and testing, and held to a
quality process of 100% reconciliation of the values within the system. In addition, Starry Associates passed all of the audit and process reviews (SAS70 and OMB's A-123) requirements.
|
| Benefit: |
Starry Associates was able to assist the Federal service support center in successfully bringing the Agency's systems
into production on time (completed within 5 month timeline) and within budget. In addition, the Agency was brought up with no errors, transparent
to the end users of the system,and was fully reconciled, which met the required deliverables of the project plan.
Starry Associates was able to support our client so that they met their commitment to supporting the Agency. This also will improve the Federal service support
center's ability to incorporate additional clients in building out their accounting system as a Centers of Excellence.
Since then, this conversion has passed all audit requirements.
