Background

The BIO is responsible for the management, continued development, and operations and maintenance of FBMS and the support of the business community utilizing the system across all of DOI. The BIO is an office under the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Budget, Finance, Grants and Acquisition (DAS-BFGA) within the Office of Policy, Management and Budget (PMB). PMB is an office located within DOI’s Office of the Secretary (OS).

FBMS is the cornerstone of a fully integrated business management system, supporting DOI as a world-class organization acknowledged for management excellence and effective mission delivery. As a High Value Asset (HVA) it is critical to the DOI’s financial management modernization strategy and to meeting future business needs. FBMS is designed to incorporate the majority of DOI’s financial and business management functions into one system. The financials area of FBMS is based on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software applications that include a variety of SAP solutions (S4HANA, BI, BOBJ, BPC, BTP, GRC, Enterprise Portal, Fiori, SLD, Solution Manager, MDG). Other systems that make up the FBMS landscape include Unison PRISM for acquisitions, GrantSolutions to manage the financial assistance lifecycle, IBM’s ETSNext solution for government travel, Tableau Server, and OpenText’s document management application. See Figure 4 below, FBMS Application Landscape, for a visual list of systems included under the FBMS umbrella.

DOI strives for the least amount of customization and promotes business process standardization across bureaus. Still, many of our system implementations require some amount of configuration and enhancement or customization. The FBMS custom development objects are listed in Attachment 1B, FBMS Development Objects. This integrated system has led to the decommissioning of 87 DOI and bureau-specific systems and enabled the alignment of a business management system with the DOI’s strategy of modernization, integration, efficiency, accountability, and customer value. The full implementation of FBMS allowed the DOI to realize the benefits of common business processes, a common technology platform, integrated real time data, and improved operational decision making. FBMS achieved the goal of having all of DOI on one system with the last deployment occurring in November 2013 and was recently migrated to the S4HANA platform (version 2022) in October 2024.
