Administrative and Financial System Investment Thresholds

Proposed agency investments that meet the minimum thresholds listed below must receive formal, written approval before beginning any administrative or financial solution modification, development, or acquisition. The Level of Effort is the sum total of person-hours expected to complete the work and applies to internal and external resources. The Hardware/Software Cost is the sum total of acquisition or ongoing costs related to software or hardware, licenses, maintenance and support, or other similar costs. The thresholds are separated by the core business functions of the system or solution. The combined level of effort and cost thresholds for each business process category may be updated based on availability of enterprise solution functionality and ongoing modernization initiatives.
