Describe the electronic submission process and the security measures present in this approach. Analyze the advantages over classic paper solicitations.
According to Stanberry (2013), the electronic Subcontracting Reporting System (eSRS) is a web-based government-wide subcontracting system that allows electronic submission of applications from potential contractors. The system will manage the receiving, revisions and rejections of applications submitted through the eSRS system. The information received into the system can generate reports and analyses of subcontracting data in real-time. The eSRS process helps to create a green environment by reducing the paperwork submitted, killing less trees. It also reduces the errors, less time to process the applications, allows for electronic signatures, papers are not lost and it makes the process less time consuming on the subcontractors. The electronic Subcontracting Reporting System (eSRS) was implemented in October of 2005 and the Federal Government contractors are now required to use the subcontracting eSRS to submit their requirements with the exception of some Department of Defense (DoD) contracts. The electronic submission process upgraded to a new system call SAM (System for Award Management) in 2010. Before the implementation of SAM, contractors were required to file and ISR which is an Individual Subcontracting Report on a standard form called (SF) 294. If a company wants to register to compete for a federal government
