The Irus Group has designed and implemented corporate performance management and business intelligence solutions for many State and Local government entities, including educational institutions. The Irus Group has built data warehouses for government agencies in order to implement business intelligence solutions. Often the data was resident in dispersed locations and needed to be consolidated before it could be analyzed properly. Irus Group is uniquely suited to accelerate an agency’s performance management understanding from their business intelligence systems. We help them turn their data into information and their information into knowledge in order to make better business decisions.

Irus Group asks the right questions to help our state and local government customers gain this understanding.

• Are your programs as effective as possible?
• How is your agency performing to its strategic plan?
• Are your programs meeting the needs of our constituency?
• Are you in compliance with our vendor and contractor agreements?

Irus State Agency Budgeting Solution

The Irus Group State Agency Budgeting Solution handles budget and forecast creation, review, modification, and communication within the same system. It streamlines the budgeting process, whether organizations use top-down, bottom-up, or mixed budgeting methodologies, and can allocate budget objectives from high levels - such as quarter and division - to low levels - such as month and department. Web-based data collection tools enable controlled acquisition of budget data. At the close of the budget cycle, the finalized budget is consolidated to provide enterprise access, and then locked to prohibit additional modification.

Benefits include:

• Flexible Data Loading: Easily accepts and validates data from multiple legacy applications, general ledgers, spreadsheets, and relational databases.
• Extensive Financial Modeling: A wide variety of financial management tasks are supported with sophisticated modeling capability.
• Controlled Data Access: Data is maintained in a central source, ensuring that users are able to access the data they need, both locally and at remote sites.
• Comprehensive Reporting and Analysis: Key information can be viewed across any combination of dimensions - line items, time periods, products, geographical regions, and cost centers.
• Web-Based Budgeting: Allows data to be displayed, accessed and sent over the world-wide-web.
