| Virginia Department of Transportation (501) – CSC System 2.0 | Jan 24, 2013 | Dec 31, 2014 | $5,910,333 |
| Project Approach: The approach for the CSC System 2.0 project is comprised of five key activities that include Project Initiation and Planning, Requirements Gathering, System Procurement, System Design and Implementation (Phase 3), and Project Closeout. Project Initiation and Planning comprises a key set of project activities designed to ensure that the project team is fully aligned with the client's project objectives and to establish the project management structures that will assist in achieving client business objectives for the project. To that end, a key task of Project Initiation and Planning is working with the VDOT's Project Sponsor and Project Manager to define and finalize the project scope, approach, and timeline and is reflected in this document. Project Schedule Development and Maintenance Project schedules are critical tools used to keep projects under control. We will use Microsoft (MS) Project 2002 as the project scheduling software and will provide initial and all subsequent versions of the project schedule in this format. It is our belief that the most detailed level of work defined in a project schedule should have clearly recognizable end point, where all can agree that the activity planned has, in fact, been successfully completed. Normally, this is done by assigning either well-defined milestones or well-defined deliverables to each activity. The CSC System 2.0 project team will work with VDOT's Project Manager(s) at project kickoff to develop a schedule for meeting the project objectives in accordance with VDOT's needs. The initial version of the project schedule has estimated start and end dates, which in turn will define the expected duration of the activity. Where dependencies and/or linkages between tasks exist, these will be specifically identified. It will be possible to identify the critical path within the project for those tasks that have been entered into Project Server and also view and manage multiple critical paths for each series of tasks. Specifically, the anticipated benefits of the CSC System 2.0 project include but are not limited to: 1) Provide better access to all VDOT information, 2) Provide better andmore efficient service to internal and external customers with technology enabled systems that are integrated with appropriate VDOT systems, 3) Enable self-service and better customer follow-up, 4) Offer additional automated communications channels to customers, 5) Provide ability to tract customer interactions, 6) Provide ability to close the loop with customers on their requests, and 7) Provide management reporting to enable better decision making. |

| This project is designed to establish a death reporting service/interfaces between the death registry and the ESB. The service will be supported by an extract of the minimum required fields to identify a death record. Additional development may be required to add a match code (Yes/No) and an MPI placeholder. In addition to supporting an inquiry death service on the ESB, a publish and subscribe model will be developed so the registry can actively publish new death notices as they occur. This will allow subscribers to trigger appropriate processing based on the notification. |

| Department of Social Services (765) – EDSP – Eligibility Modernization – Conversion | Apr 25, 2013 | Jul 10, 2014 | $10,569,816 |
| The EDSP Eligibility Modernization Conversion project will focus its efforts on converting the data in the ADAPT legacy system and DMAS CHAMPS legacy system for the Families & Children's Medicaid, CHIP, and FAMIS categories into VaCMS. The CMS federal requirement stipulates for these eligible ongoing Medicaid categories (staring April 2014) at the time of their renewal process, continued eligibility must be evaluated against the new MAGI Medicaid rules. This conversion project will move those existing cases into VaCMS and eligibility determination be performed by the external rules engine accomplished in the Eligibility Modernization MAGI project. Conversion will be performed on a month by month schedule (based on the Medicaid renewal date) until all cases for these categories have been converted from these two legacy systems, enabling the discontinuance of Medicaid from the ADAPT legacy system and the retirement of the CHAMPS legacy system. The Eligibility Modernization Conversion project will result in: The elimination of multiple Medicaid case management systems into a single case management system. Improve the use of technology for efficient case management. Consistency due to data consolidation. Reduction in fraud and errors through data consolidation. |

| Department of Social Services (765) – EDSP – Eligibility Modernization – Program Migration Project | Mar 18, 2013 | Feb 1, 2016 | $75,197,063 |
| The modernization and migration consists of MAPPER UNISYS system replacement for the ADAPT application and the Energy Assistance Program application. ADAPT is the current eligibility determination and case management system for SNAP, TANF, Employment Service. The Eligibility Modernization Program Migration Project will convert the cases that contain the programs in ADAPT and the Energy system into VaCMS along with accepting new applications for these programs via online (Customer Portal) and paper (manual data entry) processes. This project also involves the external rules engine (iLOG). All program rules will be incorporated into iLOG with the outcome of eligibility determination, authorization, and case management within this single case management solution. The EDSP Eligibility Modernization Program Migration Project anticipates minor changes to Customer Portal to accommodate VaCMS changes. All interfaces currently being performed by the legacy systems are included and must be performed by the single case management system. Work efforts will be performed to sunset the ADAPT and Energy legacy systems as all programs are converted to VaCMS. Leveraging the current web-based technology provided in the VaCMS solution and/or the technology in the Customer Portal will allow VDSS to work towards each state and local DSS employee having a single sign-on to access other VDSS systems. VDSS anticipates using a single authentication tool to allow users to sign into the VDSS “system” one time. VDSS has also researched other vendor solutions to resolve the challenge of having many different “terminal emulation” based legacy type applications. With single sign-on, workers will have improved capabilities for accessing various VDSS systems required to support benefit (Public Assistance) and service delivery. A state-wide document management and imaging solution is another deliverable of this project. Throughout the Virginia Social Service Systems (VSSS), vast amounts. |

| Department of Health (601) -- Electronic Death Registration (EDR) | Mar 22, 2011 | Dec 30, 2014 | $3,003,500 |
| Project Approach: The Office of Information Management (OIM) has performed a feasibility analysis and considered options such as the availability of a Customer Off The Shelf (COTS) system or some form of “canned” software. After much research, it became readily apparent, that no related, customizable application exists or has been developed that DVR could use to perform their tasks regarding death registration. Several States such as Indiana and Nebraska have developed and deployed electronic death registration systems, but those systems are neither web-based nor available online. They remain client-server applications until now. Other States such as California, have developed a web-based electronic death registration system, but have significantly different requirements and lack the total automation that DVR desires. Additionally, some of the technologies used would not be compatible with other OIM systems which would make integration difficult and expensive. Furthermore, while standardization of death certificates throughout the United States is an objective, it might only be possible to a certain extent. The stakeholders of the applications for different States have different requirements. In order to best serve the requirements of the stakeholders (DVR, Funeral Directors, OCMEs, Physicians), the Office of Information Management along with the users of the Division of Vital Records, propose to develop an in-house, customized, web-based Electronic Death Registration system that will meet the needs of the Business Users and can be seamlessly integrated, with only nominal costs, into the current Virginia Vital Events and Screening Tracking System (VVESTS) which was also developed and created in-house by OIM. Therefore, OIM is proposing to add the (EDR) system as a new subsystem to VVESTS. Reducing many disparate systems into a single, central database will lower maintenance cost and as VVESTS has proven, will provide additional benefits of improved analysis capacity across programs, thus, permitting OIM to also utilize the existing infrastructure, advanced security features and existing Oracle software license.OIM will continue the same technology deployed with VVEST namely Oracle Web Technology, upgrading the current database to Oracle 11G, for the front end we will utilize Oracle Designer 2000 and web-toolkit and the web servers will utilize the Oracle Application Server powered by Apache v. 1.2 Furthermore, OIM is proposing to use some of the same IT team that so successfully developed the VVESTS application. This approach is also consistent with the strategic goal of OIM to develop enterprise architecture, rather than separate isolated systems. To reiterate, this new system shall be web-based, allowing all participating users to perform their duties and fulfill their responsibilities online, thereby, reducing and eventually eliminating any of the paperwork that is currently required. |

| Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services (720) -- Electronic Health Records (EHR) | Jan 7, 2013 | Apr 18, 2016 | $32,392,400 |
| This project involves the purchase of a comprehensive clinical information system for behavioral healthcare that manages the care data of thousands of patients in the facilities. In order to properly manage the care provided, clinical data in the form of thousands of transactions per facility per day needs to be collected, stored and analyzed using an electronic medical record. The system would be implemented at all sixteen facilities and Central Office and would help to eliminate the manual data processes still used in many clinical areas. An electronic medical record, supported by a suite of clinical applications will greatly reduce risk while greatly increasing operational efficiencies, cost savings and most important of all, patient satisfaction. |

| The project will: 1. Develop a secure repository containing electronic personnel file information for current VDOT employees; 2. Develop standard business process and electronic content management for HR's three highest priority workflows: (a) Pay Action, (b) Annual Performance Management, and(c) Critical Hire; 3. Develop a solution that leverages the agency's SharePoint Server 2010 to meet VDOT HR's workflow improvement and electronic content management needs. The benefits of this project will increase the efficiency and effectiveness of Human Resources by converting three manual paper-based workflows into an electronic content management system with automated workflows. It will improve HR's overall productivity, service levels, and data accuracy while maintaining cost effectiveness and compliance with HR, IT, and records management's regulations, policies, and standards. Secure access to electronic personnel files regardless of time and location will enable a culture of collaboration across the enterprise. There is a huge opportunity for other organizations and agencies outside of VDOT to learn from this initiative. Other organizations who are interested in optimizing their HR processes have already expressed interest in learning about the benefits and results of this project effort. Identification of those agencies with potential interest (such as VITA and VCCS), and making recommendations and sharing project deliverables with those organizations will be made at the conclusion of this project or as requested. |

| Virginia Employment Commission (182) -- Unemployment Insurance Modernization | Sep 17, 2009 | Feb 28, 2015 | $58,540,154 |
| The modernization of the Unemployment Insurance System is a major initiative for the VEC in the Agency Strategic Plan. This client/server system will replace the VEC's decades-old IBM-mainframe Benefits, Tax, and Wage systems. Agency stakeholders will have direct leadership and governance responsibilities for the Investment. Customer stakeholders include employers of the Commonwealth as well as individual citizens who require support from the Unemployment Insurance program. Approach: Prior to selecting a solution the VEC reviewed the similar efforts in other states and conducted interviews with states engaged in UI Modernization. VEC documented lessons learned and developed decision tools to be used in the procurement process. VEC also went through a Business Process Reengineering effort and developed process flows for key business processes. The solution consists of replacing the Unemployment Insurance Benefits, Tax, and Wage systems with a modern, integrated system based on client/server and web-based technologies. The solution enhances and expands self-service, document management, workflow, and on-line processing with applications that are easy to use and minimize manual intervention. Phase 1 of the solution was an RFP and selection and IT vendor partner. Phase 2 was to develop a comprehensive Project Plan, for the IAOC, and procure an IV&V vendor who will review project progress at key milestones. Phase 3 was to define and document the Architectural designs and Technology Architecture requirements. Phase 4 is system construction based on the above architectural designs followed by testing, training, rollout, and project closing. |

| Department of Health (601) -- Women, Infants, Children (WIC) Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) Project | Jan 8, 2009 | Oct 13, 2014 | $6,619,018 |
| This project will develop and implement the business processes and associated technology to provide e-WIC issuance, redemption, payment, and reconciliation services to distribute food benefits in the Virginia and West Virginia WIC Programs, the states of the e-WIC Consortium. Virginia will act as the lead state and will perform Consortium level project management and administration activities. The project will require procurement of a number of services including support for the development of an Implementation Advanced Planning Document (IAPD), as required by the United States Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service, Quality Assurance and Monitoring, and Design, Development, and Implementation of the selected e-WIC solution. During preliminary planning of the e-WIC project, the Virginia Division of WIC and Community Nutrition Services completed a baseline analysis of the current system and conducted a feasibility study and cost-benefit analysis to evaluate three e-WIC alternatives. The WIC EBT Feasibility Study and Cost Benefit Analysis found that the online, outsourced EBT technology received the highest ranking with respect to the evaluation criteria selected by the state. Online EBT requires a real-time connection to the host for transaction authorization, as the term off-line indicates, transactions at the point of sale (POS) do not require a real-time connection to the host for authorization, instead transactions are validated directly against data stored on a Smart card. Among other criteria, each alternative was evaluated with respect to its proven record of implementation, operation, and integration; its ability to increase accuracy and accountability; and its ability to minimize ongoing operations costs. Given the context of the Virginia WIC Program, including current IT development projects and in-house technology development support, the online, outsourced solution provides the greatest opportunity to meet project goals including, accomplishment of the proposed development schedule and implementation of proven technology. | |||
| In an effort to follow the consortium model in achieving economies of scale and at the request of USDA FNS, the Virginia WIC Program will jointly and concurrently conduct e-WIC planning activities with West Virginia. As members of the Crossroads Consortium to develop a new WIC management information system (MIS), Virginia and West Virginia have the opportunity to leverage shared knowledge and similar development environments while furthering the adoption of e-WIC. In order to expedite e-WIC project initiation and planning in West Virginia, the Virginia WIC Program modified the RFP for planning services, issued on February 23, 2009, to include West Virginia. Virginia, having completed pre-planning for e-WIC and as the RFP initiator for planning, will take the lead state role in project management and administration. Virginia will be responsible for project procurements and funding administration. In addition to IAPD development, the modified RFP requests a baseline analysis, feasibility study and cost benefit analysis for West Virginia. Once these preliminary items are completed, Virginia and West Virginia will proceed with the planning activities associated with the RFP. The states will combine their efforts to develop a joint IAPD including functional requirements based on the Crossroads SAM system. The states will also work together to define system telecommunication and architecture requirements, retailer implementation requirements, and procurement specifications. At the completion of planning, both states will be prepared to develop an e-WIC solution that will interface with the Crossroads MIS. | |||
| During project planning the e-WIC Consortium, with support from a qualified planning services vendor contracted through the planning RFP, will develop an IAPD as required by the USDA Food and Nutrition Service. This document will include a joint functional requirements study, a general system design, a capacity plan, a project management plan, a statement of resource requirements, a schedule of milestones and activities with deliverables, a proposed budget, a retailer management plan, a retailer implementation plan, a security plan, and a training plan. The feasibility study and cost benefit analysis completed for each state will be finalized and will also become a part of the completed IAPD. The e-WIC Consortium will also prepare procurement requests for Quality Assurance (QA) and Design, Development, and Implementation (DD&I) services. Quality Assurance services will provide a formal methodology to evaluate, assess, recommend, and track the progress of e-WIC project variables (including cost, schedule, scope, quality, accuracy, completeness, timeliness, and consistency of deliverables) throughout the project life cycle. The QA service provider will develop plans for Issues Management, Change Management, and Risk Management and maintain corresponding logs to track project developments. The QA project plans will be incorporated into the formal project plan including the activities of both the Consortium project team and the DD&I contractor. | |||
| During project execution the e-WIC Consortium will work with a qualified EBT service developer to design, develop and implement the e-WIC system. Virginia, as the lead state of the Consortium, will be responsible for project management and contract administration throughout the duration of the project. The Consortium will submit regular status reports to the appropriate stakeholders including USDA FNS and other internal and external oversight authorities. At the completion of the e-WIC project the Consortium will manage the transition from project implementation to operations. Each state will contract for operations separately. The EBT service provider selected in each state will begin full operations as the State's EBT processor. |

| Department of Taxation (161) – Collection and Audit Case Management Mobile System | Jul 1, 2014 | Jun 30, 2018 | $3,000,000 |
| Mobile Collection and Case Management system will allow TAX field staff (auditors/collectors) to use tablets. The tablets would have an audit application that would encompass audit case management and audit workbench. Auditors could connect where ever a cell signal was available. The application would have the ability to work disconnected in the event there is no cell signal available. The system will have the ability to accept a credit/debit card or electronic check, and the ability to exchange encrypted electronic documents with taxpayers. The system will integrate directly with AR so audit returns could be loaded automatically w/the appropriate compliance code and no additional involvement by other staff. As technology moves to more mobile platforms, TAX needs to enable systems to interface with them. It also makes sense for TAX staff, especially those in the field to have the same tools as our customers. This solution will allow TAX staff the use of a tablet and/or smart phone in the field to assist taxpayers with filing returns and paying their taxes. The field rep would pull out his smart device and file the returns electronically, with the use of a Square which is an electronic device that is attached to a tablet or Smartphone that can process credit card payments. The rep will be able to take the payment electronically and have the confirmation of the filing and the payment emailed to the taxpayer. This presents an opportunity for educating the taxpayer and achieving the Commonwealth/TAX goals for electronic filing and payment. This would decrease paperwork for the agent and save TAX time and money because funds will be processed to the bank more efficiently, no delays or costs for mailing and there is no paper return or check process. |

The current solution for developing and modifying correspondence has reached its end of life and is no longer supported. It requires professional IT resources for every change. This FACE sub-project will replace all existing correspondence and transform the business logic which drives it. The resulting solution will allow business owners to self-service correspondence and play an expanded role in the creation of new artifacts. | ||||

| The purpose of the HIT/MITA Program is to align the Commonwealth with Federal direction relative to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (PPACA). These acts present significant funding opportunities to improve the quality and value of American healthcare. PPACA mandates Medicaid expansion in 2014, which is predicted to increase Virginia's Medicaid membership by 35-45%. Leveraging the Federal funding opportunities to offset the impact of expansion is an important investment in Virginia's future. The Federal funding available under ARRA and PPACA provide opportunities to achieve the following outcomes for Virginia: Build on current health reform efforts; Modernize information technology infrastructure as an enabler for future business transformation; Provide a technical environment where standards-based interoperability is possible between new and legacy systems; Provide web based self-directed service options for human services; *Reduce the need for large administrative and operational staff for Federal and State programs; Reduce overall long-term technology costs for Federal and State programs; and Provide an enterprise technology environment that is accessible on a pay-for-use basis by Federal, State, and local governments as well as non-government organizations, community based-services, and commercial interests as allowed by policy. |

Today TAX maintains multiple systems with multiple Login entry points. Taxpayers have long complained about not being able to go to one place on our website to access our online systems. The My Virginia TAX concept would include an improved version of the functionality we provide today, as well as provide new functionality that is not there today. Taxpayers would be able to electronically file and pay any tax. Taxpayers would be able to access a complete history of their account including past filings, payments made, refunds issued (including Where's My Refund status while pending), correspondence that was sent assessments/bills pending (and paid). |

| Department of Human Resource Management (129) – PMIS Migration from UNISYS | Jul 1, 2014 | Jun 30, 2016 | $7,000,000 |
| This project involves moving all DHRM applications off of the Unisys mainframe and into a server / web / relational database environment. This migration must be accomplished by June 30, 2016 in order for the Commonwealth to avoid approximately $15 million in annual charges related to DHRM's use of the mainframe. NOTE: DHRM has submitted a budget request / decision package to DPB for $5.5M for this project. The additional $1.5M (that bring total project costs to $7M) represent the monies that DHRM would already have in its base budget for existing personnel, office space, existing servers, etc. and would expend for the project over the FY15-16 biennium. At this stage of the cost estimation process DHRM anticipates that half of the $5.5M requested in its decision package to DPB will be needed in FY15 and half in FY16. However, DHRM needs for any unused monies in FY15 to carryover and be available for project use in FY16. |

| The current statewide Incident-Based Reporting System needs to be replaced because it is based on older legacy technology and does not meet the needs of the law enforcement community in Virginia. The current system is based on proprietary technology which relies upon support from a small firm and it is difficult to modify or enhance. In addition, personnel to support this system are not readily available in the marketplace due to the system platform (MFCobol). For these reasons, it is imperative that it be redeveloped consistent with Virginia's Enterprise Architecture standards. |
