Program Summary by Budget Activity 

(Dollars in thousands) 

Explanation of Request 

The Department-wide Systems and Capital 

Investments Programs (DSCIP) request 

includes funds for the Enterprise Content 

Management program and the Financial 

Innovation and Transformation program. 

Enterprise Content Management (ECM): A 

key Treasury initiative for 2011 is the 

elimination of paper-based processes and 

transactions. The ECM program is an essential 

element of this initiative as it will provide a 

common approach across Treasury to 

modernizing document-based business 

processes. FY 2011 funding will allow the 

program to continue, with a focus on 

enhancing mission effectiveness, reducing 

total cost of ownership by promoting 

economies of scale, and enabling all Treasury 

bureaus to progress toward a paperless 

environment. 

Financial Innovation and Transformation: 

DSCIP funding is also requested to be used to 

develop and expand efforts to support shared 

government-wide financial solutions 

associated with agency financial management 

services (e.g., invoice processing, cash 

collections, interagency agreement 

management), an effort coordinated through a 

newly established Office of Financial 

Innovation and Transformation (OFIT). This 

program will be tasked with developing 

options for streamlining the processing of 

financial transactions and information. For 

example, the program will develop 

innovations available to agencies including 

allowing users and stakeholders to access 

certain financial information or append this 

information without requiring the movement 

of the data. This will also streamline processes 

and allow for more transparency of 

information to the public. 

Purpose of Program 

The Department-wide Systems and Capital 

Investments Program (DSCIP) is authorized to 

be used by or on behalf of the Treasury 

Department’s bureaus, at the Secretary’s 

discretion, to improve infrastructure, 

modernize business processes and increase 

efficiency through technology investments.

Description of Performance 

The Treasury Department has four strategic 

goals: 

•	 Effectively manage U.S. government 

finances; 

•	 Ensure U.S. and world economies 

perform at full economic potential; 

•	 Prevent terrorism and promote the 

nation’s security through strengthened 

international financial systems; and, 

•	 Ensure management and organizational excellence. 

The Department uses DSCIP funds to make 

investments necessary to facilitate 

achievement of these goals. 

ECM Program Performance will be measured 

through the identification and collection of 

performance metrics. Measures and results to 

be achieved include reduced cost of 

maintaining paper, standardized shared 

services, increased efficiency/productivity of 

staff through automated workflow, reduced 

time required to share information, and 

reduced management reporting burden. 

There are a number of benefits to the Bureaus 

and Government at large to be realized: 

•	 Greater protection of information and 

security 

•	 Improved regulatory compliance 

•	 Improved data collection and quality 

•	 Improved process workflow and information sharing 

•	 Quicker and more accurate 

management reporting 

•	 Development of Treasury-wide ECM 

standards 

Financial Innovation and Transformation 

program performance will be measured by 

assessing the costs and performance of the 

government’s current financial management 

processes and measuring the results of the new 

system in reducing costs and improving 

financial performance. Expected results are: 

•	 Reduced costs and elimination of 

duplicative financial information. 

•	 Streamlined processes between 

vendors and government agencies. 

•	 Improvements in agency and 

government-wide financial data. 

•	 Financial reports that support policy 

making and management decision 

making. 

•	 Transparency of information.
