Its solution sets deliver uniformity, automation, auditability, and the removal of siloes in compliance, performance and priorities by connecting people and their tasks with contracts, category management, and financial controls.
To-Be
Unlock FedRAMP-authorized and Treasury-prescribed pathways to manage more spend with transparency and efficiency.
Problem - Disjointed processes and a lack of visibility hinder contract utilization. While employees often strive to comply with policies, they are restricted by the absence of cohesive access to compliant resources. The existing siloes of discretionary spending, strategic sourcing, and category management operate in isolation, leading to manual data entry, oversight errors, and inefficiencies. These limitations create blind spots in contract usage and transactional reporting, resulting in greater operational challenges for government agencies.
Inadequate transactional record-keeping and reporting remain major weaknesses requiring urgent attention. It is critically important for agencies to meet the GAO's oversight guidance for improved accountability and transparency of bulk obligations under management.
Solution - Paperless Innovations' Actus offers a solution through its FedRAMP-authorized, Treasury-prescribed shared service, enabling automated workflows, robust data capture, and compliance assurance. Agencies reduce errors and omissions, prevent unauthorized commitments, and ensure transactional transparency bringing more funds under compliant management.
Stakeholders
