OCIO Goal 2a: FY 1999/2000	Through the HRTC, OPM will begin the delivery of the initial capabilities that implement the Governmentwide vision of a Virtual Federal Human Resources Data Repository (VHRDR). The VHRDR will result in prompt access to current and accurate HR data in a less labor-intensive and costly environment for HR processing, recordkeeping, and reporting.

In OPM’s initial strategic plan, OPM established an objective for FY 1999 to "establish requirements and a model for an electronic official personnel folder (Digital OPF) to replace paper personnel records." In FY 1998, OPM and the HRTC decided to pursue a broader Governmentwide objective to develop a Virtual Federal Human Resources Data Repository, which encompasses the more limited approach of developing an electronic personnel folder. The initial effort, developing a vision, requirements, and concept of operation for the HR Data Repository, is currently underway.

		Develop an initial VHRDR design based on the Vision/requirements and concept of operation approved by the HRTC in FY 1999.
		Conduct VHRDR prototype/proof of concept testing.
		Begin pilot implementation of selected VHRDR modules.
		Define VHRDR operational modules for future implementation.

		HRTC approval of the HR Information Vision, concept of operation, and implementation plan.
		HRTC approval of the initial VHRDR design and prototypes.
		Prototypes demonstrate a positive cost benefit return for the Government.
		HRTC support for pilot tests of selected VHRDR modules.
		HRTC agreement for EHRF operational modules for future implementation. With the HRTC, OPM has begun a process to design and develop a strategy for storing, distributing, and accessing HR data electronically -- Governmentwide. During FY 1998, OPM issued a contract to define a vision for Governmentwide electronic HR recordkeeping, construct concepts of operation, and develop an implementation strategy and plan. During FY 1999, this initial work will be reviewed by the HRTC and work will begin on the HRTC selected concept of operation to include further requirements identification.

OCIO Goal 2b: FY 1999/2000	Under direction of the HRTC, human resources information flow between agencies, OPM, and other relevant parties is improved through an expanded centralized delivery mechanism ("data hub"). [See ES Goal 2b for Means and Indicators]

OCIO Goal 2c: FY 1999/2000	Through the encouragement of the HRTC, an increased number of agencies are using self-service benefits selection systems (such as OPM’s Employee Express). [See ES Goal 2c for Means and Indicators].
