Investment Detail

The current TFAS solution will remain in effect through Q2 FY 2019 and therefore the existing investment will not provide quantitative or qualitative cost saving or a realized return on investment. The OST is in the process of implementing a new solution as a replacement of the legacy platform. Awarded in FY 2018 the new solution provides a baseline fiscal saving of ~$22M given the average investment with the current system since FY 1998. The new platform being implemented moves the costs to a firm fixed price model which will be $5M per fiscal year. Within the core replacement system OST has also invested in a Business Intelligence solution and mobile platform in support of beneficiary services. These added solutions are inclusive of the $5M firm fixed price investment per year. Concurrently OST has invested in it's own cloud based infrastructure to support a data-warehouse respective of the Business Intelligence solution. This investment will add approximatly $250k annual infastructure cost. It is estimated that FY 2019 cost-avoidance will be ~$11.5M.

This can be realized given the fact that both system must be run in parallel in order to ensure proper transition. This includes a $9M legacy contract extension coupled with the $5M steady state firm fixed price new contract and and a data warehouse investment of $1.5M to build out the cloud data warehouse offering. Total investment in FY 2019 $15.5M with a cost avoidance of ~$11.5M.
