About the Electronic Budget System

"Electronic Budget" is an integrated information system for managing public finances. The system is designed to ensure transparency, openness and accountability of the activities of government agencies, as well as improve the quality of their financial management through the formation of a single information space and the use of ICT in the management of state and municipal (public) finances.

The architecture of the Electronic Budget system includes centralized subsystems that implement the main functions in the field of public finance management, service subsystems that provide optional provision of information services, as well as a single portal of the budget system of the Russian Federation.

The Electronic Budget system is based on centralized subsystems:

• maintenance of registers;
• budget planning;
• revenue management;
• debt and financial asset management;
• cash management;
• cost management;
• Procurement management
• management of non-financial assets;
• human resources management;

Completion of transfer of legal entities' personal accounts to the RMP component of the CS

On September 15, 2021, the OTR IT integrator announced that it was completing the transfer of personal accounts of legal entities to the RMP component of the Constitutional Court - a subsystem for managing expenses in terms of treasury support of the key state integrated information system for managing public finances "Electronic Budget." In the system, this component was the first fully implemented on open source software independent of foreign developers. The CS RMP subsystem operates on open source software under the control of PostgresPro SIS, which complies with the import substitution regulations of the Government of the Russian Federation.

The transfer of legal entities to this system allows you to centralize the work in a single information space of state customers, executors, the Federal Treasury and interested state bodies, minimize paper document flow, and make the work more transparent for all participants in treasury support. Now it has become much easier to control the financing of a state contract: the flow of funds can be traced to the last contractor. This makes it possible to increase the efficiency of management decisions by centralizing information on contractors performing government orders.

For performers, work with budget funds has been simplified: now, instead of establishing accounts for each project, information is centralized on the same account with the distribution of projects - in the analytical section. In addition, legal entities work directly in the federal treasury system - this made it possible to increase the availability and quality of information on the execution of state contracts.

Document filling mechanisms are optimized - the maximum possible amount of information is filled automatically or from drop-down lists. It is provided integration with the Unified Information System in the field of procurement, which allows you to open and update analytical sections on personal accounts automatically based on information about concluded state contracts. Centralization made it possible to increase the relevance and speed of access to directories used in document management.

In addition, this information decision allowed the Federal Treasury to test a promising organizational and functional model, concentrating the functions and specialization in the implementation of treasury support of federal budget funds in 7 territorial bodies of the Federal Treasury (Centers of Specialization) instead of 85.

The introduction of the subsystem was not easy - employees of the Federal Treasury were actively working with legal entities to switch to test mode: the first counterparties experienced difficulties in initial setup. Despite this, the financing of all state contracts was completed on time.

The experience of creating and implementing the RMP of the Constitutional Court was another milestone in automation projects of the Federal Treasury, - said Yulia Novoseltseva, Deputy Head of the Information Systems Development Department of the Federal Treasury. - We have gone a hard way from making decisions on conducting an experiment on working in the organizational and functional model to transferring previously opened personal accounts to the Electronic Budget State Research Institute. An important role in overcoming the difficult period of implementation was played by the accumulation of the treasury support function in the Centers of Specialization.

We have been working with the Federal Treasury for more than 15 years, - said Arman Kospanov, director of the block of federal projects and departmental decisions of the OTR. - Interesting tasks that arise during the digital transformation of the department, develop the services of this most important service and us as a partner. This project, implemented completely on open source software, proves that import substitution can be carried out without loss of quality and in compliance with the deadlines. We are absolutely ready for this.

Implementation of Disaster Tolerant Redundancy

IT-integrator OTR"" on August 12, 2021 announced that it had developed and implemented the technology of disaster-resistant reservations "Electronic Budget "- Integrated Information System (GIS) management state and municipal. finance RUSSIAN FEDERATION Continuous and uninterrupted operation of the system is the basis of operation. state economies The scale of the project can be estimated by the number of involved - more servers than 2021 pieces as of August 300 - and the volume, data which is more than 250 TB for information more than 10 functional subsystems of the Electronic Budget.

GIIS is used daily by tens of millions of employees from all state and municipal organizations: from kindergartens and schools to ministries and departments. The system provides data on budget spending and ensures transparency of the work of government agencies.

Work on the project was launched by the "Center for Ensuring the Activities of the Treasury of Russia" and lasted about a year. Disaster-tolerant redundancy ensures fault tolerance and independence of the system from the destructive consequences of natural and man-made disasters. A return to normal operation occurs within a maximum of two hours, with a data loss rate of no more than 5 minutes, as confirmed by multiple tests.

When creating the technology, it was necessary to take into account the heterogeneity of the environment in which the components of the information system operate. Physical servers are used to manage databases, application software is deployed in a virtualization system. In addition, the customer instructed to comply with the multivendor solution and ensure the absence of influence on CI/CD technologies, import substitution processes.

Disaster-tolerant redundancy is a mechanism for high availability of systems located at a distance of more than 100 km. The main data center is located in Dubna. The reserve site - a geographically remote data center in the city of Gorodets, Nizhny Novgorod Region - at a distance of more than 500 km. Thus, the fundamental condition of geographical distribution for critical state information systems is fulfilled. For both data centers, a similar set of hardware is used, while various levels of component fault tolerance are implemented.

The key benefits of this solution are:

• Flexibility: not "tied" to the operating system and software. This means that regardless of the platform and selected software, the backup solution will be unified for all functional subsystems and components of the PU GIS, including those created and planned;
• Ease of operation: minimum number of actions when switching between data centers, personnel qualification requirements - basic level of system engineer;
• There is no need to refine and/or update the software - the technology works at the hardware level of abstractions.

The complexity of the project was that the customer instructed to create a simultaneously simple, reliable and promising technological solution that is equally effective for different systems: put into commercial operation, planned and those that are in the process of development and implementation, "says Alexander Egorov, director of the technical outsourcing department of the OTR IT company. - When implementing the project, it was necessary to take into account the important requirement of the customer: the putting into commercial operation of the disaster-proof redundancy system should not have influenced the replication or implementation of new functional subsystems of the Electronic Budget. These are very responsible processes that we carried out in parallel with the developers and the support service. 20 years of experience working with the most important systems of the public sector, knowledge of the features of financial processes allows us to take on such tasks and ensure the result that the customer needs.

The test of disaster-resistant redundancy was as close as possible to industrial use: in the main data processing center, the system was stopped (imitation of a data center failure) and started in the backup center of GIIS "Electronic Budget," employees of the Federal Treasury checked the performance of the software and confirmed the possibility of executing the budget process.

The project of disaster-resistant redundancy of GIIS "Electronic Budget" is developing, the technology is constantly being improved by the customer. Higher requirements are being implemented for the level of availability and security of one of the main financial IT systems in the country.

2020: Implementation of Astra Linux budgeting module

FSIIS "Electronic Budget" Ministry of Finance of Russia The module for the formation of budget murals of federal budget managers and limits of budget obligations, which operates under management, is being introduced into. OS Astra Linux This was announced on January 14, 2021 by the Civil Code. Astra Linux The project is being implemented by IT a company OTR that has supplied the ministry with a number of software and technical complexes.

The Ministry of Finance for January 2021 goes integration to the GIIS "Electronic Budget" of the module for the formation of budget murals of federal budget managers and limits of budget obligations, which operates in the environment of Astra OS. Linux Several factors influenced her choice as a platform. Among them are the availability of certificates of all regulators of the domestic market, including and, FSTEC FSB of Russia which was one of the key requirements of the customer, as well as built-in verified means information protection and fault tolerance and suitability confirmed by practice for protected, IT infrastructures processing any data degree of secrecy.

In general, the contract concluded with the Ministry of Finance involves equipping AWS with Astra Linux OS anti-virus and software Kaspersky of 400 budgetary institutions from different regions of the country. During the implementation of the project finance , 32 autonomous AWS and 10 sets of network workplaces were delivered to the Ministry. OTR employees performed the basic installation of components and FSTEC-certified software products of their own design, as well as delimited the rights and access of users to. ON The company continues to provide the customer with technical support services and provides support for the software and technical solutions supplied to him.

{{quote 'OTR has been engaged in software and hardware integration projects for more than 20 years, mainly introducing them into Russian state structures. Extensive expert experience in the field of integration allows OTR to implement the project in the lines indicated in the state contract and in strict accordance with the requirements of the Ministry of Finance. Thanks to the added module, the department will be able to fully distribute budget funds in digital format, "said Organizational & Technological Solution project manager Yevgeny Marchenkov. }}

The transition of federal GIIS to domestic OS will greatly simplify the implementation of import substitution plans for organizations. Initially, all state information systems worked only with Windows, and when transferring IT infrastructures to Russian software, they had to find special solutions to ensure their correct interaction with GIIS. With the introduction of domestic software into federal information systems, the process of import substitution in IT will become easier and less costly, - notes Roman Mylitsyn, director of innovations at Astra Linux GC.

2019

Development of cost management, reference information, accounting and reporting subsystems

On March 11, 2019, OTR announced that it had signed a state contract with the Treasury for the provision of services for the development of the GIIS Electronic Budget subsystems. Under the terms of the state contract, OTR will develop the expense management subsystem (RMP), the regulatory reference information subsystem (NSI) and the accounting and reporting subsystem (PU&O). The agreement is calculated until mid-2020.

According to the company, the most important tasks of the state contract were the centralization and optimization of the block of federal budget expenditures with the transfer of functions from the Automated System of the Federal Treasury (AS FC) to the GIS EB, import substitution and georeservation of the GIS EB between industrial and backup data processing centers (DPC).

The centralization of the federal budget expenditure block in the Electronic Budget GIS is planned to be carried out in several stages: alternately implement the functionality for different types of personal accounts with the migration data and transfer of external customers and internal users from the decentralized AS FC to the centralized component of the GIS EB RMP.

The transition to a centralized information system means obtaining a transparent picture of the assets of the entire state, business processes and a single methodology, and also opens up opportunities for organizational transformation of the FC in order to increase the overall efficiency of performing the functions of the department. The focus in the implementation of business processes is on tight service integration between departmental information systems and external participants to reduce manual operations.

As of the beginning of 2019, the FC information system was built as a decentralized system in 85 constituent entities of the Russian Federation and the Interregional Operational Administration, which, in turn, affects the complexity of integration mechanisms.

Another strategic task of the state contract was the implementation of the import substitution policy. By mid-2020, it is planned to transfer elements of the "Electronic Budget" to domestic or Open Source components and services: DBMS, software for web servers, application server software, portal, integration bus, etc. Recall that the main platform of GIIS EB is built on the technological stack of the American corporation Oracle.

The development of the IT infrastructure of federal executive bodies is one of the priority areas of our company. As a developer of domestic platforms, we are actively involved in solving the strategic task of import substitution and bringing high-tech domestic products to the market. In cooperation with the Federal Treasury, we will apply new practices and interaction models and expect that the project will become a landmark for the entire IT industry. Arman Kospanov, Director of the OTR Block of Federal Projects and Departmental Solutions

Development of the expenses management subsystem in terms of treasury support and creation of the cash management subsystem

OTD (" organizational and technological decisions ") Company, in the interests of the Federal Treasury, is implementing a project to develop the subsystem of cost management in terms of treasury support (RMP CS) and create a subsystem of cash management (PDS) of the state integrated information system "Electronic Budget" (GIIS EB).

OTR develops Electronic Budget subsystems and replaces foreign IT products with domestic solutions

Project Objectives and Objectives

The project provides for two main tasks - the development of the cost management subsystem in terms of treasury support (RMP CS) and the creation of the cash management subsystem in terms of budget payments (PDS).

The purpose of the RMP development is to form a centralized system that ensures automation in a single information space of processes for maintaining and recording operations during treasury support of funds in the currency of the Russian Federation, as well as the formation of consolidated and differentiated (according to certain groups of data indicators) analytical reports on treasury support.

The creation of the PDS is designed to form a centralized payment system that ensures the automation of budget payment processes in compliance with the requirements of the legislation of the Russian Federation.

According to the terms of reference, subsystems should be implemented in a three-link or multi-service architecture based on web technologies. The client application should be based on the use of a thin or web client. A thin client should be designed to minimize traffic, compute requirements, and user workstation memory.

Inclusion in subsystems of programs or components that are the intellectual property of the contractor or developed by third parties and delivered to the customer "as is" is allowed only if they are included in the Unified Register of Russian Programs.

Treasury Cost Management Subsystem

The expenses management subsystem (RMP) of the Electronic Budget system in terms of treasury support is designed to conduct and record operations with budget funds on personal accounts opened for accounting operations with funds of legal entities that are not participants in the budget process opened in the Federal Treasury bodies.

RMP users in terms of treasury support are participants in the treasury support system - NUBP (legal entities that are not participants in the budget process and their separate divisions), which open personal accounts for accounting for transactions of a non-participant in the budget process in the territorial bodies of the Federal Treasury, as well as state customers (chief managers of budget funds, recipients of budget funds), customer institutions (federal budgetary and autonomous institutions).

The treasury support mechanism is designed to effectively use, ensure transparency and control budget funds for large government orders. The main difference between the future functionality of the RMP CS and the existing in the current system of the ASFK (Automated System of the Federal Treasury) is the simplification of the scheme for opening and servicing customer accounts, increasing the amenities and level of service provided by the Treasury. The composition of accompanied customers is expanding. Thus, the Federal Treasury increases the efficiency of using billions of budget funds.

Cash management subsystem

The cash management subsystem (PDS) in terms of budget payments is designed to make budget payments and manage a single federal budget account (the corresponding budgets of the budget system of the Russian Federation) in accordance with the legislation of the country.

The creation of the PUDS is a breakthrough in the development of the functions of the Treasury, since this is the first step towards the creation of a system of treasury payments, which will allow the Treasury to carry out mutual settlements between clients instantly in the future, without involving the Bank of Russia almost around the clock (from 01:00 to 21:00 Moscow time). This will be a high-performance system in terms of the number of transactions, comparable to large banks (about 36 million operations per day). It will also implement completely new functions to control and limit settlements with counterparties that are included in the lists of extremist and terrorist organizations.

Project progress

The contract for the project was concluded with OTR on September 12, 2018. All works are divided into 2 stages. The first phase ended on 17 December 2018, with the second due to be completed by 30 June 2019.

As part of the first part of the project, OTR provided the basic treasury support process in the expense management subsystem, taking into account the new scheme for opening personal accounts and sections. The execution of the second stage will add to the basic process the functions of working with cash, treasury security of obligations and processes of suspension of payments.

As for the cash management subsystem, based on the results of the first stage of the project, interaction with the Central Bank, ASFK, GIS GMP GIS HOUSING AND PUBLIC UTILITIES and subsystems of GIS PU is ensured. The completion of the second stage will add interaction with credit institutions, processes for detecting fraudulent transactions and additional reporting.

As part of the project, a number of systems from foreign manufacturers (Oracle, IBM) were replaced by domestic IT products, in particular, a solution from OTR, Postgres EE DBMS, Linux OS.

The total value of the contract is 335 million rubles.
