Original publisher: [Washington, D.C.] : U.S. Government Accountability Office, [2006] OCLC Number: (OCoLC)77461673 Subject: Information storage and retrieval systems -- Business. Excerpt: ... were primarily related to reductions in DFAS's costs. In discussions with DFAS officials, they were unable to estimate the actual personnel savings that would result since they did not know ( 1 ) the number of personnel, like those at the Air Force and Navy, that would simply be transferred to other DFAS functions or ( 2 ) the number of personnel that could be used to avoid additional hiring. For example, DFAS expects that some of the individuals assigned to support the travel function could be moved to support its ePayroll program. Since these positions would need to be filled regardless of whether the travel function is reduced, transferring personnel from travel to ePayroll would reduce DOD's overall costs since DFAS would not have to hire additional individuals. According to the September 2003 economic analysis, DOD expected to Savings Associated with realize annual net savings of $ 31 million through reduced fees paid to the Reduction of CTO Fees CTOs because the successful implementation of DTS would enable the Are Unknown majority of airline tickets to be acquired with either no or minimal intervention by the CTOs. These are commonly referred to as " no touch " transactions. However, DOD did not have a sufficient basis to estimate the number of transactions that would be considered " no touch " since ( 1 ) the estimated percentage of transactions that can be processed using the " no touch " was not supported and ( 2 ) the analysis did not properly consider the effects of components that use management fees, rather than transaction fees, to compensate the CTOs for services provided. The weaknesses we identified with the estimating process raise serious questions as to whether DOD will realize substantial portions of the estimated annual net savings of $ 31 million
