Operational Budgeting

Create multiple versions and revisions of budgets for the same financial year and plan multi-year budgets. EcoSys fully supports Performance Based Budgeting efforts, aligning organization goals with operational execution.

Funds Management

EcoSys EPC provides complete funds management capabilities, allowing the identification, forecasting, and categorization of all sources of federal, state and local funds. Track allocation of funds to programs and individual projects, and track changes to funding throughout the fiscal year, with a complete audit trail. Precisely report on performance against plan, by funding source, program, or project. Align plans and performance to government funding categories and funding codes.

Capital Planning

By prioritizing and justifying capital investment decisions in EPC, stakeholders at all levels of the organization participate in planning, whether approving budgets, forecasting, or monitoring performance. Local plans can be consolidated into regional or statewide plans without the need to consolidate numerous spreadsheets.

Project Forecasting and Execution

Plan expenditures at the program, project or phase level, or by budget category, recording data by year, month, or by transaction. Compare top-down budgets to bottom-up forecasts. Manage budget changes and reprogramming efforts precisely, retaining a full history of decisions made. Compare funds, budgets, estimates, and actuals, and where detailed project plans exist, benefit from EPC's seamless integration with Primavera and MS Project.
