Okemos, Michigan, April 21, 2009 – The introduction of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) stimulus funds has caused many state and municipal government agencies to concentrate their time on meeting the federal government’s demanding reporting requirements. In many cases, agencies are forced to leverage legacy systems that are not equipped to handle the demands of the ARRA reporting requirements, to respond quickly to the federal government. The President has made it clear that every taxpayer dollar spent on our economic recovery must be subject to unprecedented levels of transparency and accountability.
Agate Software, Inc. has created front-end functionality for the IntelliGrants Grants Management Solution that focuses on the evolving reporting requirements that the Federal government has put in place for the ARRA funds. Leveraging knowledge gained from putting measures in place to track and report ARRA funds for our current clients, Agate has been able to successfully add functionality that will allow agencies to provide up to the minute reports on information manually entered, as well as loaded information from current client databases. Agate continues to research the evolving requirements for the ARRA, and is updating required reporting fields as necessary.
One of our goals is to provide our clients with the tools to accurately report the most current information available, as quickly as possible. For this reason, Agate has the ability to implement the IntelliGrants ARRA Reporting Functionality on the front-end of an IntelliGrants Grants Management Solution, allowing the agency to fulfill reporting requirements as quickly as possible. IntelliGrants also gives agencies the ability to award, and distribute recovery funds in a prompt, fair, and reasonable manner. The IntelliGrants solution helps to ensure that recovery funds are used for authorized purposes and that every step is taken to prevent instances of fraud, waste, error, and abuse by including business rules set by the agency.
