support DFAS process thousands of Permanent Change of Station and Temporary Duty vouchers
every year for the military. SmartVoucher assists soldiers in filling out the 1351-2 travel voucher.
The system has a workflow process that routes the vouchers through a workflow so that different
groups can review and either approve or reject the voucher. The system then sends the voucher to
the main travel pay system for processing.
The SmartVoucher system needs to be modernized by upgrading the back-end technologies and
applying responsive design to the front-end. The modernized system should maintain the legacy
system business logic, validation processes, and process flows.
We modernize the backend and decouple the front end from the backend. We move existing
validation processes to the front end to make the application more responsive and flexible. All
while partnering with the customer and aligning People and structure with Process and
Technology.
