SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  This event is hosted by the Unified Shared 
Service Management (USSM) office (www.ussm.gov), which was established 
in October of 2015 to enable the delivery of high-quality, high-value 
shared services that improve performance and efficiency throughout 
government.
    This event is intended to provide industry partners with an 
interactive overview of how the ecosystem for shared services is 
evolving in the Federal Government. This will also be an opportunity 
for the Government to hear feedback and best practices from industry, 
particularly those outlined in OMB Memorandum 16-11, Improving 
Administrative Functions through Shared Services (https://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/omb/memoranda/2016/m-16-11.pdf). 
This event is not related to a specific RFI, RFP, or solicitation.
    Industry partners that offer services and/or systems for the 
migration, and/or modernization, and/or operations and maintenance of 
mission support functions in the public and private sectors, are 
invited to attend. The specific focus will be on acquisition, financial 
management, grants management, human resources, travel, and the 
technology or services that support these functions.
    Topics to be discussed include the following:
     Modernization and Migration Management (M3) Framework: A 
new framework, which includes a playbook and investment review process 
that agencies will follow when modernizing and/or migrating missions 
support functions. M3 is designed to help the government achieve 
successful outcomes and reduce risk during administrative system and 
service modernizations and migrations.
     ProviderStat: A performance framework for Shared Service 
Providers that drives achievement of goals by establishing an annual 
cycle, in which executives review data, assess performance, discuss 
progress, and determine corrective paths forward. This will include an 
annual customer satisfaction survey and the establishment of criteria 
for high performing providers.
     Acquisition Vision for the Ecosystem: A discussion of the 
existing acquisition environment, common acquisition challenges, and 
strategies for harnessing industry solutions and capabilities 
throughout the shared services lifecycle.
    Participants should review the M3 Framework and other supporting 
materials about USSM initiatives prior to the event by visiting: 
https://www.ussm.gov.
    Registration: Participants may register at: https://meet.gsa.gov/e4xy2fqjkl6/event/event_info.html.
    Each company will be limited to two participants. Preference is for 
those individuals leading migrations and providing service delivery, as 
there will be breakout groups where USSM will be seeking industry 
thought leadership. Seating will be capped at 120 people on a first-
come, first-served basis. Registrations must be completed by 5:00 p.m., 
EST on Monday, August 8, 2016.

    Dated: July 7, 2016.
