Enterprise Software Initiative (ESI)Overview Briefing On Blanket Purchase Agreements With COTS Systems IntegratorsSpring 2005
ESI BACKGROUND What is ESI • ESI AWARDS • Systems Integration deals: Finalist in 2004 IRMCO Award • Finalist for 2004 and 2005 eGov Awards • Finalist for 2003 DoD CIO Awd. 1998 to Present • Joint project formed in 1998 by DoD CIO • To establish a DoD-wide process for software acquisition and management • Mission is Software Asset Management • Leverage the purchasing power of the DoD Results • 50 Blanket Purchase Agreements with more than 25 Software Firms • In first five years, ESI helped avoid more than $2 Billion in negotiated discounts off GSA schedule prices ESI Scope Broadened to Services • ESI Reach was extended to technology services and hardware in 2002 • COTS Systems Integration selected for initial Enterprise Agreements for Services • ESI and SMART-BUY • Started June 2003 • OMB Initiative for Federal-Wide Licensing • SmartBUY Implementation in DoD is through ESI • Initial DoD Policy for SmartBUY Implementation issued Sep 03 • ESI working with GSA SmartBUY team to coordinate requirements for acquisitions beyond DoD
COTS Systems Integration Services Why & How APPROACH • Market Research and Strategy Coordinated with Logistics Systems Management within DUSD AT&L • Enterprise Integration Group (EIG) Collaboration • Real-world users involved throughout the process (commercial and government organizations) • Confirmed by Gartner, Forrester, Acquisition Solutions Inc. OBJECTIVES • Pre-negotiated, best value agreements for systems integration services • Enable the acquisition of Systems Integration services more quickly, more effectively, and less costly. • Enable projects to have greater likelihood of success / reducing risk by using best contracting practices and educating buyers • Develop / adopt a standardized contract structure based on proven methodologies for COTS implementation
Key Contracts Involved Software License and Maintenance Agreement What optional BUYER Hardware / Equipment Purchase Order ASP / Hosting Systems Integration / Software Implementation Sample Commercial Contracts in an ERP Project
Software to Services Ratios Why Source: OMB
Reducing the Ratio If ESI avoided $2B in the cost of software license costs over 5 years, how much cost can be avoided on services? How to reduce the ratio: • Via ESI* • Via toolkit / domain advocacy / compliance streamlining • Education and training via DAU / NDU • Via reuse / leverage (RICE, Education and Training, etc.) (Matching commercial ratios is not likely with government-specific requirements.) Getting to a lower ratio * LaborRate discounts are not the ultimate goal. Establishing BPAs with fixed prices tied to vendors’ disciplined methodologies for COTS implementations will avoid risky and costly pricing structures (e.g. paying for time spent and not for results). Why
Improvement In Business Metrics • Vendor accountable for end results as defined in established metrics Performance Based Scenarios Deliverables- based Task Orders • Pre-configured Task Orders tied to Methodology T&M Solution definition is unclear Need and solution are clear Buyer has metrics set & can quantify results desired Typical Pricing Structures

Features / Benefits • Saves Time and Money • Pre-qualification at the BPA level reduces the time and cost incurred instead of doing a redundant full and open competition • Section 803 competition requirements already satisfied at the BPA level • Solicitations less than 30 days are allowed (GSA based - shorter) • Market research at the Task Order level can be targeted to your program’s specific situation – COTS implementation qualification already determined • Price Certainty • Fixed price services tied to proven methodology • Payment tied to results with performance incentives • Modular contracting / deliverables-based payments utilized • Menu of fixed prices is set for key project variables (e.g. RICE objects) • Flexibility • Task Orders can be structured to fit your specific program strategy / needs • Ordering can be done based on specific program requirements • Reduced risk • Proven implementation methodology and best practices employed in the BPAs • Less likelihood of a successful protest compared with a full and open competition • Better educated buyers – the BPAs act as educational tools • BPAs require Reuse – RICE objects and Training deliverables • Scope creep reduced by following proven project management processes • Built-in Knowledge-sharing – lessons learned, tools, and reuse Why

Getting to a lower ratio $5B DoD Business Systems 2003 $3B DoD Modernization of Biz Systems Est. $2.4B DoD Modernization with COTS 2003 Reduce the Ratio / Cost Avoidance A reduction of $1 in the ratio equates to 6.6% cost avoidance or $160M each year / $800M over 5 years. • FY 2003 DoD IT Investments are estimated to be $27B (OMB). • $5B+ to be spent annually by DoD on business systems • If only 60% is spent on modernization and 80% of modernization is spent with COTS, that would amount to • $5B each year on Biz Systems • $3B on modernization (60% of $5B) • $2.4B on COTS (80% of $3B)
Approach Objective Circumstances where applicable Withhold % of Fees Incentivize on-time performance BearingPoint will deliver on schedule and will commit to doing so for deliverables, milestones, phases, and/or complete projects. Withhold % of Fees Incentivize BearingPoint to provide high levels of customer satisfaction BearingPoint is willing to be measured for services during the implementation, or customer satisfaction post-implementation. Specific areas of measurement will be determined based on the needs of individual task orders. Withhold % of Fees Incentivize BearingPoint to meet or exceed industry standards of service post go-live. After the implementation Go-Live and once stabilized sustainment and support operations have begun, pricing will be based on the percentage of time that BearingPoint meets or exceeds industry standards for agreed upon operations and managed service metrics. Share-in-Savings Align government and BearingPoint interests in reaching targeted improvements in operational metrics After Go-Live and when processes have stabilized, mission objectives in the processes and supporting infrastructure will be used to determine financially quantifiable improvements, which are then shared between BearingPoint and the government. BearingPoint would also be interested in Share-in-Savings options through improved O&S of the supporting IT environment. Performance-Based Approach To demonstrate our confidence in our ability to deliver on time, achieve high levels of customer satisfaction, and meet or exceed industry standard service levels, the BearingPoint Team is proposing to place up to 10% of our fees at risk using a withhold based approach.
