Business Transformation at the Department of the Treasury/IRS

September 09, 2024

Department of the Treasury, Internal Revenue Service, Strategy and Planning (S&P), Technology Business Management Office, Technology Business Management Implementation

The Department of the Treasury was seeking support for organizational transformation focused on defining and implementing a Technology Business Management (TBM) framework including integration with related processes for portfolio management, demand management, acquisition management, workforce management, and budget planning and management. The implementation of TBM will require executing corresponding process improvements for data governance across IRS IT.

Forward Edge-AI is working with the agency's Information Technology executives, staff, and other stakeholders to provide data analytics support to the TBM program. The work includes analysis of TBM data to identify trends, patterns, and anomalies that can provide insights into the organization’s IT spending.

Forward Edge-AI is also leveraging data forensic techniques derived from a National Science Foundation SBIR to determine data sources and ownership for Servers, Data Centers, Storage, Applications and Services and other information to determine lineage and provenance of data sources.

The scope of work for TBM implementation also mirrors a standalone Phase III SBIR (contract #FA701423C0029) by the US Air Force/Secretary of the Air Force Office. The underlying technology also was awarded a patent (see 11,689,660 B2), and the 2022 Federal Computer Week/Fed100 Award for Business Transformation.

Key Objectives

Analyze available data to identify trends, patterns, and anomalies that can provide insights into the organization’s IT spending
Determine source of data and establish data governance and lineage
Prioritize and compile data sets to use in the development of TBM dashboards and other reporting products
