How government agencies can make a grants management solution choice in light of the growing need to modernize. Based upon preferences, structure and business realities, agencies can determine whether they should lean toward a custom IT solution or if an off-the-shelf option may be a better choice.
The Louisiana Community and Technical College System (LCTCS) manages all 13 public two-year institutions in the State of Louisiana. To fund the operations and program-specific elements of these institutions, LCTCS manages grant programs, including the Adult Education and the Perkins Technical and Vocational programs.
The DC DoH is responsible for compliance with all federal and DC government laws, regulations, and mandates for receiving funds, spending them appropriately, and adhering to standards for delivering services. The agency found that managing of public funds using a web of homegrown systems, myriad spreadsheets, and countless folders was incredibly challenging. To help the DC DoH operate more efficiently, REI was tasked with developing an enterprise-level system used by multiple components, which led to greater economies of scale, enhanced coordination, increased standardization, and the ability to holistically manage risk across grant programs.
The City of San Diego was fortunate to secure a significant $200M increase in federal funding but lacked the technical infrastructure and structured business processes to support and manage this significant increase in funding. The City of San Diego determined GovGrants® to be the best solution to meet its complex needs. After reviewing multiple grants management systems, GovGrants was selected as it delivered a highly configurable set of out-of-the-box capabilities.
