FOCUS AREAS: PUBLIC SECTOR

ISSUES FACING THE PUBLIC SECTOR
Today public sector organizations are facing conflicting mandates: doing more to modernize and streamline practices but with fewer resources—budget and people—to get the job done. The challenges are many: improve collaboration across agencies, increase transparency, serve constituents more effectively, incorporate best practices from industry, comply with new policies—and make all these parts work together under an overarching architecture or platform that encompasses all relevant systems, technologies and partners.

Dickinson + Associates helps public sector organizations transform their business-focused operations and strive for the same expectations as the private sector. We help public sector clients achieve efficient, responsive, and cost-effective operations by applying best practices using the latest technologies and trained resources.

HOW SAP SOFTWARE CAN HELP
SAP provides an integrated suite of applications to help federal, state and local governments respond quickly to regulation changes, streamline business processes and gather data across the various districts, bureaus and departments.

SAP addresses government-wide business processes such as: citizen relationship management, government procurement, tax and revenue management, budget preparation, supply chain, asset management, incident management, human capital management, e-government, compliance, public security, social services, public sector accounting, funds management, resource management, capital planning, case management, records management and grants management.

SAP has received FACTS II certification allowing U.S. Federal government agencies to share financial data. mySAP Financials enable state and local agencies to automate fund accounting practices in compliance with reporting requirements. SAP for Public Sector allows for increased collaboration by supporting vertical (federal, state and local) and horizontal (cross agency) cooperation and business processes.
