Critical Success Factors
Improved customer satisfaction thru near real time access and understanding
Improved accuracy and availability of information and services
Greater efficiencies provided by economies of scale as transactions are centralized and provided via web and contact center channels
Cost savings and avoidance by returning personnel authorizations to the corporate structure to support a reduction in the Air Force administrative footprint and focus resources on operational efforts
3. Page 3 Input ID: 39043 Type of Work The major achievements of PSDT will be to:
Redesign Personnel Service Processes to make them more streamlined and effective. Eliminate unnecessary steps and approvals to speed up work and reduce workload
Recast Field Organizations and Career Field to make sure personnelists are ready to shift focus to strategic advisory roles instead of performing routine transactions. This new role will provide even more value to both Airmen and commanders and will lead to new opportunities within ongoing career field development
Enhance Contact Center and Self Service Capabilities by creating a Shared Services Organization (SSO). The SSO should provide more accessible (24/7) self-service personnel services through an enhanced web Portal and an improved contact center
Modernize DP Architecture & Technology to ensure the right system is in place to support and integrate web-based applications and enhanced contact center capabilities
4. Page 4 Input ID: 39043 Description of Services STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP
Strategic Partnership. Establish a strategic partnership with the Air Force to provide Total Force Personnel Services as outlined in the program objective. This strategic partnership will provide the foundation for decisions and implementation of initiatives
OPERATIONS
Tier 1 Military Contact Center. Assume operations for current configuration with provisions for assuming all transformed MPF functions over time. In partnership with Government employees in Tier 2 & Tier 3, provide responsive, total assistance to active duty military customers. Prepare and implement, upon approval, a strategic plan for transition to total force personnel center(s). Plan should represent the most effective and efficient utilization of government and contractor resources while maintaining world class customer service and support.
AFPC, 554th ELSG/PN, A1 contracted tasks. Assume all existing contracted efforts within the A1 community including all subordinate, field and related activities. Review the current contracts and provide a consolidated performance work statement that encourages innovation, industry best practices, and maximizes efficiencies yet maintains current capabilities and maintenance. Responsibility for each contract/task order will transfer at normal completion/expiration of existing contracts, delivery orders and/or option periods.
5. Page 5 Input ID: 39043 Description of Services (Cont) SYSTEMS ENGINEERING (SE) AND INTEGRATION
Legacy Systems. Assume the SE and integration efforts for current and future Total Force Personnel Systems and implement, upon approval, a plan for retiring legacy systems.
Evolving Total Force systems. Using sound engineering principles, to include Service Oriented Architecture, provide/assume the SE and integration efforts to ensure the successful operations of Total Force personnel systems and successful integration with evolving DoD systems.
TRANSFORMATION MANAGEMENT
Strategic Planning for Evolving and Future HR Systems. Utilizing the latest concepts of change management, assume responsibility for identifying, defining, and documenting future system requirements, engineering interfaces, and business process rules/procedures as they apply to existing/new HR systems for the near (0-3 yrs), mid (3-5 yrs) and far (5-10 yrs) term. Perform management planning for state of the art information technology, human resource best practices and management, and warfighter support concepts. (5-10 year term)
Business Process Reengineering and Redesign. In partnership with Air Force functional Subject Matter Experts (SME) conduct business process reengineering and redesign; optimize both service delivery and cost efficiency.
Business Process and Rules Clarifications/Descriptions. Support ongoing business process rules definition and descriptions for interface with evolving systems. In partnership with ongoing AF efforts, determine gaps in system capabilities/process requirements and recommend solutions that maximize efficiency while maintaining capability.
6. Page 6 Input ID: 39043 Customer’s Vision / Mission PSDT will provide a new personnel service delivery model that increases the Total Force capability to deliver the right people at the right place at the right time.
Benefits Sought
Improved service delivery model that shifts many personnel transactions to web-based self-service and to a much lesser extent, an enhanced contact center. An objective of 85% web, 10% contact and 5% face to face is a desired threshold
Change personnelist focus from conducting routine transactions to providing value added and strategic advisory services
Improve availability of current and accurate personnel and manpower information
Improve services through standardization, improved data and enhanced self-service accessibility
Give Airmen the convenience and control over their own personnel transactions—at their own schedule and pace. Less time waiting in line or traveling to multiple offices
Enable most effective use of resources (both human and capital) to support war fighting operations.
Reduction of total ownership costs.

Do we have a real discriminator that applies to this deal?
Do we have an opportunity to influence the requirements?
Evaluation Factors: As with all efforts, staffing will be critical, so we need to make sure we can find someone familiar with the SEP (System Engineering Process) and Spiral Development Lifecycle, since these are the two major lifecycles at SSG. SEP is extremely well-developed over many years. So much so that Intergraph Corp adopted and adapted it for their lifecycle methodology. The Spiral Development methodology is much younger, but, last I checked, is increasing in prevalence with newer technologies and projects. This expertise is critical if we are to propose improved acquisition processes that dovetail into the lifecycle methodologies. We'll also need someone versed in the Rational Unified Process as it is becoming the standard for rapid development/deployment. Whatever we do, we need to make sure the acquisition models mesh well with the development lifecycles, so staffing is critically important. I would suggest we bring someone onboard upfront during the business development stage (not sure Corporate will buy-off on that), but it lend significant credibility. My caution is that if the powers-that-be believe that acquisition strategy is separate and independent of development lifecycle, then we will struggle, at best, and fail, at worst. The acquisition models must complement the lifecycle.As with all efforts, staffing will be critical, so we need to make sure we can find someone familiar with the SEP (System Engineering Process) and Spiral Development Lifecycle, since these are the two major lifecycles at SSG.
