M a n ag e m e n t ’ s D i s c u s s i o n a n d A n a ly s i sMembers of the VA Franchise Fund NetworkOrigin of the VA Franchise FundThe VA Franchise Fund was established under the authority of the Government Management Reform Act of 1994 and the VAand Housing and Urban Development and Independent Agencies Appropriations Act of 1997. VA was selected by the Officeof Management and Budget (OMB) in 1996 as one of six Executive branch agencies to establish a franchise fund pilot program. Created as a revolving fund, the VA Franchise Fund began providing common administrative support services to VAand other government agencies in 1997 on a fee-for-service basis. In 2006, under the Military Quality of Life and VeteransAffairs Appropriations Act, Public Law 109-114, permanent status was conferred upon the VA Franchise Fund.Secretary of Veterans AffairsFranchise FundBoard of DirectorsAssistant Secretaryfor Management,Chief Financial OfficerDeputyAssistant Secretaryfor FinanceAssistant Secretaryfor Operations,Security andPreparednessDeputy AssistantSecretary forPersonnel Securityand IdentityManagementAssistant Secretaryfor Information andTechnology,Chief Information OfficerDeputyAssistant Secretaryfor Security andLaw EnforcementAustin InformationTechnology CenterFranchise andTrust FundOversight OfficeSecurity andInvestigationsCenterLaw EnforcementTraining CenterVA RecordsCenter and ganizational StructureThe VA Franchise Fund is composed of an administrative office (Franchise and Trust Fund Oversight Office) and six selfsupporting lines of business (Enterprise Centers).

M a n ag e m e n t ’ s D i s c u s s i o n a n d A n a ly s i sMeeting VA Franchise Fund ObjectivesInformation Technology SegmentCDCO – AITC National Service DeskCDCO – AITC National Service Desk professionals arecertified through an accredited service desk institution,and receive extensive training and certification from theInformation Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL). TheNSD provides a vital customer interface for processingand managing incidents, problems, inquiries, and servicerequests. The purpose of this interface is to manage andminimize the impact of any disruption to customer service.The CDCO – AITC service desk receives an average of over16,000 contacts monthly, and consistently exceeds theirFY 2010 goal of 80 percent resolution on “first contact.” Italso meet its goal of ensuring that 5 percent or fewer of allcalls are abandoned. Year after year, the AITC service deskreceives high marks on its annual customer satisfactionsurvey, conducted independently by Gartner. The servicedesk provides support on a corporate-wide basis for VACentral Office, VHA, and VBA systems and applicationsprocessed at all four Centers. In addition to its VAcustomers, the service desk supports such Federal customersas the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), NationalArchives and Records Administration (NARA), and theGovernment Accountability Office (GAO).10All CDCO ITIL professionals in all areas are well trained andreceive professional certification where available, and all ofthe various ITIL implementations are closely integrated.Department of Defense (DoD) and VAAITC hosts several important sharing projects between theDepartment of Defense and VA. The Consolidated Mail Out Pharmacy (CMOP) projectallows DoD patients to receive prescription refills usingVA CMOP facilities, which has resulted in substantial costsavings to DoD and enhanced revenue for VA. The Laboratory project is similar to CMOP and allowsDoD hospitals to order lab results from VA medical centersand have results transferred back to them securely using avirtual private network (VPN) hosted at AITC. DoD is alsoinvestigating the benefits of using the DoD-VA gatewayat AITC to transmit images, such as X-ray, CAT scan, andother digitized medical data to VA medical centers foranalysis. Such telemedicine projects have already beeneffective within VA.V A F ra n c h i s e F u n d

M a n ag e m e n t ’ s D i s c u s s i o n a n d A n a ly s i s Part of the Veterans Relationship Management program,eBenefits (EBN) is a Web portal that is a joint VA and DoDproject allowing servicemembers and Veterans to access andretrieve copies of their official military personnel records,view VA disability compensation and pension claim status,obtain or submit an application for a home loan certificateof eligibility, and directly access MyHealtheVet accounts.VA has a critical need for assistance in establishing,implementing, integrating and maintaining an identity andaccess management (IAM) system for the EBN Web portal.This IAM system must be secure and available to link to EBNsites (i.e., DoD, VA, Department of Labor, and the SocialSecurity Administration) for use by wounded, ill, and injuredservicemembers, Veterans and their families. The EBN Webportal is the VA and DoD benefits Web site for informationon benefit and assistance programs for this user population.The AITC is providing a complete, secure, highly scalableIAM solution that seamlessly manages audits, and protectsand stores identity data for access to the EBN Web portaland supported sites.OMB Exhibit 300 Project SupportFor IT, Exhibit 300s are designed to be used as non-stopdocuments for many IT management issues. CDCO – AITCprovides support to the following OMB Exhibit 300 levelinvestment and steady state projects: The Decision Support System legacy applicationenables hospitals to compute their costs for treatingindividual patients and providing specific services, viewcorporate data for management and quality improvementpurposes, and conduct clinical studies. The Financial Management System is VA’sstandardized, integrated, VA-wide accounting system thatinterfaces externally with the Department of the Treasury,GSA, the Internal Revenue Service, the Defense LogisticsAgency, and various commercial vendors and banks forelectronic billing and payment purposes. This systemsupports the collection, processing, and disseminationof several billion dollars of financial information andtransactions each fiscal year. VETSNET provides a system that will support claimsprocessing from establishment, development, andrating, to award and payment. VETSNET will providefor more streamlined, accurate processing of claims andavailability of Veteran data, including claims history.

Direct Access Storage Device (DASD)The AITC – CDCO has an established enterprise DASDenvironment that meets mainframe and open systemsstorage performance and data volume requirements,protects data against hardware failure, creates datasnapshots, and replicates data to remote sites forcontingency planning and disaster recovery (DR). Untilrecently, industry-wide decreases in hardware costs perunit and the use of best practices resulted in a continueddecline in our DASD rates. Current market researchindicated a need for extensive reconfiguration of theexisting hardware configuration with greatly increasedsoftware costs to accommodate projected 30 percentannual growth rates. In FY 2010, the CDCO-AITC procuredand installed Hitachi hardware and software at all of theCDCO data centers, excluding the Capital Region DataCenter (CRDC).

Underthis new infrastructure, failover at one primary site canbe accomplished by any of the other two DR sites. Thisnew solution includes two petabytes of usable storage andincorporates and interoperates with the existing investmentin EMC Corporation storage subsystems, software, andinfrastructure. This capital expenditure and its depreciationexpense are included in FY 2011 and FY 2012 rates. Sowhile the DASD mirrored rate increased from 1.89 inFY 2010 to 2.02 in FY 2011, the AITC-CDCO does notanticipate further increases in the DASD rates into FY 2012.The AITC plans to incorporate all disk storage into thisreplacement solution; then, as the environment’s individualcurrent hardware components reach the end-of-life cycle,each can either be replaced or disposed of depending uponthe existing DASD workload at that point in time. The AITCanticipates additional DASD workload from new initiatives inFY 2011 such as VBA’s Image Management System, VeteransOn Line Applications (VONAPP), Paperless, and Virtual VAapplications. Additionally, several legacy applications areexpecting increases in DASD workload. These applicationsinclude Loan Guaranty (LGY), VBA Corporate (CRP),ESSENCE (ESE), and Administrative Data Repository (ADR).FY07FY08FY09FY10FY11FY12818,024 6.35FY071,705,123 3.03FY082,249,416 1.91FY094,234,809 1.89FY103,164,132 2.02FY113,320,898 2.02FY1268,537130,318152,045317,678666,578699,935 28.03 29.30 8.62 10.42 11.32 11.3268,537818,024 28.03 6.35130,3181,705,123 29.30 3.03152,0452,249,416 8.62 1.91317,6784,234,809 10.42 1.89666,5783,164,132 11.32 2.02699,9353,320,898 11.32 2.02V A F ra n c h i s e F u n d
