Stimulus360
The Microsoft Stimulus360 solution helps public sector agencies track, measure, and share information about federal stimulus programs through easy-to-use graphical dashboards and maps.
 

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), enacted on February 17, 2009, provides more than $300 billion in potential funding for government organizations and government-related programs.

  • Wisely and quickly allocate funds to stimulate new jobs.
  • Efficiently track and manage incoming funds from various federal agencies.
  • Thoroughly assess, manage, and report on the progress of funded projects.

The Microsoft Stimulus360 solution can help organizations that allocate and receive ARRA funds to monitor progress, submit reports, and provide intuitive views of the data for different audiences as they work to accomplish their ARRA goals. The solution also supports key performance indicators (KPIs) and other government-backed performance metrics, automated workflow, and comprehensive analysis across consolidated data sources.

Federal, state, and local agencies and educational institutions that deploy the Stimulus360 solution benefit from:

  • Geospatial features that link data and mapping capabilities.
  • Integration with familiar Microsoft Office applications, including Microsoft Office Outlook and Microsoft Office Excel, to reduce the learning curve.
  • Automatic capture of actions and events to facilitate quick, informed decisions and to improve transparency.

Because the solution is based on Microsoft technology you may already use, you can implement it quickly and tap into broad software development and partner communities for customizations. You can deploy the solution on-premise, or you can take advantage of hosted options to meet fluctuating demand and to help minimize deployment costs.

Both government organizations and citizens are counting on a rapid and positive impact of the federal stimulus program. The right technology can help organizations more effectively manage ARRA funds to create needed jobs and to contribute to the national economic recovery.
