Question
Will there be a cost to my agency to implement the basic system description?
Answer
Implementation of the new basic system template does not involve a fixed charge; however, agencies will need to engage in a number of important activities to ensure successful implementation (e.g., marketing, communication and engagement targeting SES members, and required training). To assist with these efforts, adaptable communication and training tools are being developed for Governmentwide use. Additionally, an Implementation timeline is being developed to support agency planning for transition to the basic system description.
