START - Stimulus Tracking and Recipient Transparency™ Application

Economic Stimulus Tracking Solution

The START - Stimulus Tracking and Recipient Transparency™ application has been designed for government agencies to rapidly track and manage the launch of programs enabled by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

Speed and flexibility

The START™ application is available immediately, with no need to procure hardware or install multiple applications, patches, or upgrades. Utilizing a premier cloud computing platform, the START application allows users to spend time designing optimal processes and configuring workflow to meet business needs rather than installing hardware and software on premise.

Compliance & Transparency

The START application meets the requirements of the OMB. Its cloud computing platform promotes transparency by enabling end users to develop and publish reports and dashboards and easily synchronize data from the application to a website or public portal.

Robust Analytical Capability

The START application empowers executives, management, and end users by allowing them to drill down, explore, understand, and report on relationships between the data. From agency awards to programmatic results, the START application links information to enable robust reporting and analysis on the allocation and spending of ARRA funds.

Open & Extensible

Capitalizing on Salesforce.com’s best of breed cloud computing platform, the START application provides organizations with a robust architecture that can be easily integrated with other mission critical systems and extended to meet multiple business needs. It is more than a reporting solution, it’s a solution enabler.
