RESTON, VA - - GlobeNewswire via COMPLEX - March 08, 2010
-- Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC) has been awarded a follow-on
blanket purchase agreement (BPA) valued at up to $100 million from the
U.S. Office of Personnel Management to electronically convert and store
federal employee records for streamlined access to information.
The
Enterprise Human Resource Integration (EHRI) program is modernizing the
way federal employees access and use human resource (HR) information
through an online electronic Official Personnel Folder (eOPF)
application, analytical tools, and a government-wide data warehouse.
The eOPF includes document scanning, indexing, digitization and
Web-enabled access to more than one million federal civilian employees.
Northrop Grumman's Information Systems sector will provide
project management, systems integration, lifecycle development support
and systems engineering services to support the implementation and
maintenance of eOPFs. To date, the company has completed implementation
of approximately one million records at more than 35 federal agencies,
making EHRI one of the largest electronic records initiatives in the
federal government.
"EHRI is transforming the way federal HR
specialists, managers and employees access vital personnel information
securely and cost effectively," said Catherine Kuenzel, vice president
of Federal Mission Programs for Northrop Grumman's Civil Systems
division. "Northrop Grumman is dedicated to helping OPM achieve its
goals of creating a citizen-centered electronic government and
facilitate inter-agency collaboration by leveraging information
technology for modernized processes that benefit all federal
employees."
The eOPF is built on Northrop Grumman's e.POWER
software platform for business process management and automation.
EHRI's eOPF results in significant cost savings, better protects the
rights and benefits of the federal workforce, enables the electronic
transfer of HR data throughout the federal sector, and streamlines and
improves government-wide reporting and data analyses.
The EHRI BPA consists of a one-year base period with four, one-year option periods for a total potential value of $100 million.
Northrop Grumman's teammate on the contract is Anacomp, San Diego.
