Government organizations are subject to special controls, rules, and regulations. Budget constraints are often tighter than private businesses, and detailed accountability is required. Ever-changing regulations result in ongoing modifications to practices and reports and demand constant scrutiny.
We've worked together with our certified development partners to understand the needs of government organizations at local and regional levels. Whether you're with a smaller organization that has a restricted but simple budget, small grants and projects, and few employees, or a larger agency with a complex budget, multiple projects, and advanced reporting needs, Microsoft provides innovative, comprehensive solutions that meet a wide range of needs and functions.
Commitment Management
Managers can track requisitions as commitments related to specific budgets and streamline the process of approving requisitions. Auto-generated messages warn approvers of potential overspending if transactions exceed budgets.
Encumbrance Management
You can analyze expenditures against budgets and track encumbrances at any time. Automated tracking and liquidation helps you avoid overspending.
Fund Management
Track allocation accurately and automatically. Make reporting accessible, and define control accounts. Fund managers can transfer balances between accounts easily with "self-balancing" interfund tools.
Grant Management
Streamline transactions, monitor daily expenditures, and deliver timely reports for optimal grant performance.
