The first period of BEP involvement revealed an incomplete programme, vulnerable to annual changes in the MOF modules, dependent on unreliable communications, and unable to move forward into training and operationalisation. Nevertheless, two potential benefits of the system were considered important the ability to report actual versus planned expenditure on a monthly basis, and potential efficiencies in information transfer.
In April, the SisDur was transferred from the Planning Bureau to the Finance Bureau. A condition for further development of the programme under the Finance Bureau is an evaluation of the software to identify how any weaknesses can be addressed. On the basis of this, options relating to further support and development will be selected.
This evaluation has taken place and revealed that, as it stands, the software and database capacity is sufficient for a number of years. However, two technical needs remain. The presently designed SisDur is still dependent on an external contractor for maintenance and updating and needs to be fully transferred to run under MONE capacity. In addition, the Biro Keuangan has already requested a number of functions and improvements to the system that were not implemented in the system. It has also requested support for the training programme to be implemented at 200 Satker.
The development strategy for the SisDur/FMIS has been modified. The Biro Keuangan, with BEP support, will roll-out a version 1 from December, representing a modified and completed version of the system developed and transferred from the BPKLN. In parallel, an enhanced version will be developed, containing enhancements to the outputs and management module to include additional local and central needs. The first version will be upgraded to this version later in 2008. As a result of this strategy, there is a need to develop and implement a training programme for the FMIS over two cycles.
