Excella Manages Implementation of Government-wide
HR e-Gov Initiative


Business Need
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM), through its Enterprise Human Resources Integration (EHRI) initiative, is creating a government-wide Electronic Official Personnel Folder (eOPF) solution. The solution will be implemented at all Federal agencies and includes converting all paper OPFs to electronic format. Once complete, this initiative will save the Federal Government more than 72 million dollars per year, and allow Federal HR Specialists to provide strategic HR support, rather than manage paper folders.

Like all government-wide initiatives, this effort requires extraordinary coordination between multiple Federal agencies, the EHRI program office, and OPM.

The Solution
The EHRI program office engaged Excella to provide that coordination and ensure seamless integration of the eOPF solution at each Federal agency. Excella’s work has been key to establishing standardized processes to manage all aspects of an agency’s conversion, including requirements assessment, deployment, secure transfer and conversion of existing paper records, help desk, and on-going operations. Through the majority of implementations, Excella serves as the primary point of contact for the agencies undergoing this transition, coordinating the efforts of the customer agency, EHRI, and the conversion vendor. Excella provides significant process and policy development to ensure successful transitions in coordination with OPM’s Guide to Personnel Recordkeeping and Guide to Processing Personnel Actions.

In its role within the program office, Excella has also provided executive-level strategic guidance and support, helping to develop the business processes and model financial plan, pricing model, marketing approach, and program organization.

The Result
To date, over one hundred thousand paper personnel folders have been successfully converted to electronic form with the oversight and help of Excella. Another one hundred thousand are expected by the close of fiscal year 2006.
