Recently, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) was transferred from the Department of Treasury to the Department of Justice. The transfer presented both a challenge and an opportunity for ATF. While the Bureau had the challenge of trying to fit into the new structure and culture of the Department of Treasury, it had also been given the opportunity to make new and exciting improvements. Helping ATF achieve maximum benefits from this transfer, Edgewater supports the management of ATF’s IT assets in the following areas:

• IT Capital Planning and Investment Control
• Business Process reengineering
• IT Investment Selection, Control, and evaluation
• Portfolio Management
• Governance Process
• IT Investment Business case Development
• IT Strategic Planning
• Project Management and Budgeting
• Project Planning
• Enterprise Architecture

Thus far, Edgewater supported the development of a highly-organized and effective Capital Planning and Investment Control process for ATF. In addition to assisting in the development and technical review of OMB 300s, Edgewater supported the implementation of an effective and efficient selection-control-evaluation process for ATF’s IT investments. An ATF methodology for portfolio management with a specific set of decision criteria that address the benefits, costs, and risks for all IT investments in support of the mission of the Bureau was also developed.
