Capital Planning and Budgeting
CIPAce™ provides government agencies and major organizations with the tools to manage the planning of multiple projects and programs over planning horizons that can stretch out up to 50 years. These web-based tools create a planning environment that can gather a wide variety of impacts, priorities, funding sources and constraints that must be managed as part of the planning process. CIPAce’s database backbone creates an environment where these impacts, priorities and constraints can be managed dynamically. Not only fund projections and capital budgets are captured but also environmental impacts, green initiatives, operating impact, Americans with Disabilities Act, public safety or other agency goals can be brought together rather than analyzed separately.
We have found that many agencies do not include the “what if” questions for planning and producing a budget. This basic task answers the complex question of what is the biggest bang for available monies in the critical areas of infrastructure investment. CIPAce is unique in its embedded prioritization tools and highly configurable to reflect government's current practices while providing a path to support the best industry practices of trade groups such as the Government Finance Officers Association Best Practices and the American Public Works Association Accreditation recommended best practices.
