Wildland Fire Information and Technology Management Access Authentication Alternatives Analysis Results November 22, 2013
Agenda • Background • Project Scope/Participants • Executive Board Tasking to Project Team • Alternatives Analysis: • Recommended Solution Alternative (Alt 2) Analysis • Comparison to Current Condition / Status Quo Results • Alt 2 Cost Estimates • Alt 2 Implementation Timeline • Recommendations • Next Steps
Project Background • Initiated in May 2009 by the IIOG • Project Scope: Allow DOI and FS employees an efficient way to access Information Technology (IT) resources regardless of employing agency. • Team included SMEs from: • USDA, DOI and FS OCIO • Business Stakeholders • Fire and Aviation Management • Service First
11/16/2013 - EB Tasking to Project Team • Analyze Alt 2 (recommended) versus the Current Condition / Status Quo against the same factors used to rank the four alternatives presented. • Provide a Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) Project Plan and Cost Estimate for Implementation of Alternative 2 compared to maintaining the Current Condition / Status Quo (Alt 0). • Prepare this information for presentation to the WFIT Executive Board on November 22, 2013.
Alt 2 - Cost Estimate & Timeline • Costs • Labor Costs = $1.3M • Initial Contracting Costs = $805k • O&M Costs = $690K (Annual) • Implementation Timeline • 20 Months (upon final EB approval and funding)
Recommendations • Avoid Waiting for Emerging Technology • This is the first time known that an interagency team of subject matter experts (both in technology and business needs) have come to agreement on an approach to a solution. • Approve & Fund Alternative 2 • Despite, initial upfront costs, Alt 2 will result in future cost-savings over Alternative 0 (Current Condition/Status Quo). • Recommend suspension of the USDA limitation on email access via the internet for a quick win. • Commitment of Critical Agency Resources a Must for Success.
Next Steps • Upon management direction to implement Alt 2 • Develop a full project plan. • The team estimates that it will take approximately 45 days to develop this plan. • Should management determine not to implement Alternative 2, • The team recommends appropriate communication to the business stakeholder community.
