The first phase is Transition State 1 (TS1) which establishes the target CADE 2 data model and database and uses the data to provide individual taxpayer account information to select external systems. Updated daily from the individual taxpayer account core processing applications, the database establishes the foundation for developing the CADE 2 solution and is critical to addressing the IRS financial statement audit material weakness. The TS1 solution will implement required security controls, leverage security capabilities available in the Security and Communications System (SACS) for account viewing, and begin to address identified security weaknesses. Although still developing an early implementation strategy and approach, the next phase of CADE 2, called Transition State 2 (TS2), builds upon the foundation established in TS1. Core applications will directly access and update the CADE 2 database implemented in TS1. TS2 will focus on the hardest and more critical financial management applications and address financial material weaknesses. Key scope elements include: a) Replace portions of current CADE 2 applications with state-of-the-art, modular applications using a modern programming language (e.g. Java) and tools; b) Address Federal Financial Management System Requirements compliance for most individual taxpayer accounts; c)Implement a modular application platform for Penalty and Interest calculation with documented standard posting rules to be used by all systems; d) Establish a standardized, integrated platform and environments for development, integration, testing and production; e)Implement changes to downstream systems required to support TS2; and f)Establish disaster recovery capabilities for new CADE 2 processing platform and applications.

Evaluation Explanation

The CADE 2 investment has no overall cost or schedule variances greater than 10%. Based on lessons learned from the limited deployment feed from the The CADE 2 investment has no overall cost or schedule variances greater than 10%. Based on lessons learned from the limited deployment feed from the CADE 2 database to downstream systems and a root cause analysis, IRS has developed a CADE 2 Transition State (TS)1 2014 Filing Season Release Plan to mitigate risks and ensure a clean and sustainable Filing Season production deployment. The plan shifts the focus from further proving out functionality of our legacy feed to downstream systems to a keen focus on data accuracy, robust and sustainable system performance, TS1 operational readiness as part of the Filing Season 2014 'engine', and designing/developing an automated database conversion capability and process for yearly filing season readiness, starting with Filing Season 2015. Transition State (TS)2 work is progressing steadily. The first Technical Review of the TS2 Conceptual Architecture and Integrated Master File Modularization recommendations was conducted with more than 100 stakeholders and received positive feedback. The TS2 Core Team continues on track to complete their early planning work by the end of April 2013. A BCR has been submitted to Treasury and is awaiting approval. More..
