The Columbia Group has developed a range of applications designed to meet the needs of its customers.
Tool | Description |
---|---|
Budget Object Class System (BOCS) Module | The Columbia Group has offered to provide a new COBRA module known as BOCS to support PBIS allocation processes, including Performance Criteria Allocation, BOCs allocation and OP-5 reporting. |
Contract Closeout Tracking Tool (CLOUT) | CLOUT is a centralized portal for all information on contract closeout efforts. It allows users to coordinate, facilitate, expedite and track progress on contract closeout efforts by: identifying contracts that need to be closed out; reviewing financial data from multiple accounting and entitlement systems; recording and tracking closeout status; and generating management metrics so managers may, for example, determine the number of contracts closed in a given month. |
Computer Optimized Batch Reconciliation Application (COBRA) | COBRA is actively used by financial analysts at several U.S. Navy Commands to more efficiently identify problem disbursements and create corrective packages for them; perform day-to-day financial status research by interfacing with STARS, MOCAS, MISIL; and receive data feeds from DCAS and the Navy’s new ERP system in one database. |
Smart Tri-Annual Tool (STAT) | STAT provides an email-enabled workflow framework for performing Tri-Annual Reviews. The system establishes a baseline of outstanding obligations at the beginning of a review period. Administrators send emails requesting the status or validity of obligations, monitor results, and generate audit-ready reports for submission. STAT also provides a web form for POCs and field financial personnel to submit their responses. |
FMS Administration Scoring Tool (FAST) | This database tool provides SEA 01C personnel and support contractors: the ability to enter FMS Program Element 13, case execution, and data into an automated form of the Manpower Checklist with supporting justification and impact statements; as well as metrics and FMS Manpower reports. |
International Programs Administration of Contracts Tool (IPACT) | IPACT assists the International Fleet Support Program Office (PMS 326) with tracking and managing a large number of task instructions and delivery orders on the FMS contracts. |
