Accurate, Timely, and Meaningful: Reporting for the Government Contractor
Better reporting is one of the major reasons for changing or upgrading software solutions. To grow your government contracting business and run the business profitably, insight into the financial and other operational data is absolutely necessary.
There are three key elements to reporting: it must be accurate, timely, and meaningful.
- Accuracy is threatened by manual processes – the more that is done outside the software system, the bigger the risk for errors (think spreadsheets).
- Timeliness of reporting is critical to making data-driven decisions to solve problems or identifying and taking advantage of opportunities.
- And, reporting must be designed to be meaningful and valuable to department heads and team leaders. You will want to deliver reports that address the key metrics of a project or department so managers can better run their areas of responsibility.
