Financial Management Business Transformation (FMBT) Interface Development, Data Cleanse, and Data Conversion (ID&C)
Overview
Trilogy supports the VA Financial Management Business Transformation (FMBT) program which is focused on modernizing the VA’s Financial Management systems and implementing an integrated solution called Integrated Financial and Acquisitions Management System (iFAMS), a custom implementation of Momentum Financials. All existing integration points will have their functionality either subsumed by iFAMS capabilities or will transition to integrate with iFAMS via web service API and/or data file extracts and transfers.
Approach
Through state-of-the-art, customized processes, Trilogy’s team of data experts swiftly extracted, transformed, and integrated legacy data into the new system. The legacy FMS data was extracted, transformed, and loaded to iFAMS through a series of SQL, PL/SQL, and Java based routines executed through Jenkins pipelines, utilizing a custom library of Groovy scripts. The pre-conversion data cleanse activities utilized Power BI reports and Alteryx ETL routines for transformation accuracy and corrective actions. Trilogy’s Agile and DevOps frameworks excel at delivering Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) solutions, allowing frequent assessments of the state of the software and converted data.
Results
As a result of Trilogy’s support, the FMBT program has successfully converted six separate data conversion waves into iFAMS. These waves include the NCA, VBA, and Staff Offices components of the overall VA landscape. Trilogy has increased overall capabilities for the ID&C program and streamlined overall technical operations into an efficient Agile Development workshop. Increased efficiencies continue to yield successful, on-time deployments in iFAMS.

Architect of the Capital (AOC), Agency Strategic Performance Plan and SharePoint Support Services
Overview
Trilogy has supported AOC’s newly launched Program Analysis and Evaluation (PA&E) Division, under the Office of the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), with strategic planning and agency performance planning. Ownership of these plans was previously under a different office, but AOC shifted responsibility so that the process and results would be better aligned to agency financial planning and budgeting and aligned with OMB Circular A-11 requirements.
Approach
Trilogy facilitated working sessions with executive leaders across the AOC to validate strategic goals and objectives, and to define high level tasks, milestones, and key performance indicators (KPI) for each leader’s responsibility area and AOC’s organizational transformation. We conducted executive interviews and synthesized materials to develop a comprehensive strategic plan document, agency performance plan, and SharePoint lists for updating monthly metrics to a Tableau dashboard, all in compliance with AOC’s fiscal priorities and OMB Circular A-11.
Results
Trilogy provided AOC with a well-structured plan to achieve its organizational transformation and has an approach and best practices to follow for future strategic planning efforts. The AOC can now hold its leaders accountable for achieving strategic objectives of the organization aligned with fiscal priorities.

Overview
Trilogy has supported VHA OCFO since 2020 by assisting with project management, streamlining VHA’s central office, and other support needs while assisting with the complex tasks of modernizing its electronic health records and transforming its financial management system and supply chain.
Approach
Our team has used an approach incorporating business process reengineering (BPR), accounting classification structure (ACS), data cleansing and conversion, communications, organizational change management (OCM), project management, as well as supply chain systems analysis to provide comprehensive support in VHA OCFO’s financial system implementation. We have also assisted with VHA’s GAO High Risk List (GAO HRL) efforts, audit preparation, training, and financial policy review and utilized our technological and operational expertise to organize its processes and allow for easy reporting for management.
Results
As a result of Trilogy’s support, VHA has been able to continue its analysis and planning for its financial system implementation with the needed staff and support for an effort of this magnitude. Additionally, our team has helped VHA improve in its GAO HRL areas of concern and maintain its clean audit opinion.
VA Financial Management Business Transformation (FMBT) System Integration (SI) Support
Overview
Trilogy operates as a system integrator for VA’s Financial Management and Business Transformation (FMBT) initiative, which is an effort to modernize VA’s financial and acquisition management systems with transformative business processes and capabilities that enable VA to meet financial management legislation objectives and directives.
Approach

In this migration, Trilogy is supporting VA in leveraging the SAFe Agile model to deploy the new solution.

The new solution has also provided additional security, storage, and scalability for VA users.
Results
As a result of Trilogy’s support in the transition to a modern ERP cloud solution, VA administrations have already begun to see an increase in transparency, accuracy, timeliness, and reliability of financial information across several departments. Trilogy’s support has been acknowledged and greatly appreciated by VA in support of their transition from the legacy Financial Management System (FMS).

Each step of the process is conducted with a goal of exceptional service and measurable results.
