8. Provide a brief summary and justification for this investment, including a brief description of how this closes in part or in whole an identified agency performance gap: Federal Student Aid is engaged in a long-term effort to integrate its processes, data and systems. To better support these business objectives and to emphasize data as an enterprise asset, Federal Student Aid has established a formal Enterprise Data Management (EDM) program. The goal of the EDM program is to consistently define data and make standardized data available across the enterprise by providing information services and data technology expertise to business owners, project managers and architects. The EDM program has four functions. These functions perform the following activities:• Data Policy and Strategic Planning - Defines EDM strategic direction and promotes compliance with EDM policies, procedures and standards.• Data Governance and Metadata Management - Implements data governance processes to maintain standardized data definitions and associated metadata, and uses the metadata to guide, control and integrate data activities and products.• Data Architecture - Promotes sharing of database assets, the use of an integrated architecture to support enterprise-wide data movement, access to common data, data transformation and migration. • Data Quality - Institutionalizes a set of repeatable processes to continuously monitor data and improve data accuracy, completeness, timeliness and relevance. Previously, this investment was listed as non-major. However, this investment was reclassified at the request of OMB. This investment represents the Information Management portion of the Enterprise Architecture program at Federal Student Aid. This investment is not a system development project, but rather an architecture enabler project to ensure all development projects achieve the Target State Vision at the data level. However, EDM does host an application - the XML Registry and Repository for the Education Community which houses standardized metadata.
