What Is the NASA Shared Services Center (NSSC)?

• Consolidates activities into a separate, independent NASA Service Center

• Performs a variety of transactional and administrative activities in four lines of business:

– Financial Management

– Human Resources

– Information Technology

– Procurement




• Reduces resources expended for support

– Provides better quality, more timely services at lower cost

– Improves data integrity, consistency, and accountability

– Standardizes core business processes

• Facilitates process re-engineering and automation

• Leverages consolidated spending with vendors to negotiate better terms and prices

• Saves money to funnel back into programs (Space Shuttle, Space Station, Exploration)

– Identify all functions performed at all Centers and facilities

– Establish a baseline of current and future costs and resource requirement

– Categorize current functions into “Services to be Consolidated,” “More Study Needed,” or “Services Remaining at Center"
