Investment Detail
HRLOB is a steady state investment. As one of five federal Shared Service Centers, it has already helped achieve billions of dollars in savings to the federal government. Per OPM's eGov website, HRLOB realized $1.625 billion in cost savings and avoidance through FY15 and will continue to realize $184 million per year afterwards. As the IBC's customer base continues to grow with new clients or current clients adding services, IBC saves millions of dollars for both DOI and IBC's non-Interior clients by providing cost avoidance and/or cost savings through economies of scale. For FY17, the W-2 rate is $198 per W-2 (no cost increase from FY16. As the rate was $197 per W-2 in 1997, the costs are actually more than 35% lower today, adjusted for inflation. Instead of keeping up with the CPI, the rate is saving the clients over $29M annually. Since 2010, the functionality of the system has increased more than 50%. In addition, IBC offers discount pricing on licensing for Talent Acquisition which has saved customers $28.98M since FY09. In some cases, clients have saved 79% over what they would have paid on their own. HRLOB implemented the HR System Integration Framework in 2009, providing real-time integration between multiple systems. As of June 2015, there were 374,948 transactions resulting in avoidance of duplicate data entry for 10 million data elements. Additionally, FPPS has employee event notification web services that notify subscribing systems of changes to any of 213 data elements for an employee's personal information. To date there have been 3.3 million event notices, saving duplicate data entry for 378 million data elements. Additional ROI savings would need to be determined by the agencies using the HRLOB Shared Service Center systems and services.
