Summary of LSJ: The overarching goal of the VA’s Manpower Management Program is to enhance VA’s ability to produce market-informed HR requirements to support budget submissions and strategic workforce plans. Currently, the VA has inconsistent functional alignment creating complexities in the reconciliation of HR data due the data being manually managed within the HR?Smart system. This also prevents the VA from having the right policies and business rules in place to enforce policies in place to maintain organizational structures and HR data.LSJ Summary: The overarching goal of the VA's Manpower Management Program is to enhance VA's ability to produce market-informed HR requirements to support budget submissions and strategic workforce plans. Currently, the VA has inconsistent functional alignment creating complexities in the reconciliation of HR data due the data being manually managed within the HR?Smart system. This also prevents the VA from having the right policies and business rules in place to enforce policies in place to maintain organizational structures and HR data. The current organizational and HR data captured, tracked, and maintained within HR?Smart is manually extracted, manipulated for data analytics, and reported on manually. This PCR effort will enable the VA to implement an automated VA Manpower capability that will generate automated data extraction, analytics and reporting. The end result of a fully automated Manpower capability within the HR?Smart System will provide the VA with a greater ability to recruit and retain a world-class workforce and strengthen the VA's Infrastructure." The current Contractor, IBM is the developer of the "proprietary" HRIS SSC solution VA is currently utilizing. IBM solely owns and license's the PeopleSoft based solution and is hosting the solution at its facilities. If another vendor was contracted to support this effort; they would only be successful if IBM gave them proprietary access to the Share Service Center codeline in order to build an interface into the HR?Smart platform.
