A new era of federal agency budgeting
BudgetSync is powered by IBM's Planning Analytics platform and reflects Deloitte's extensive experience in the public sector—like the common federal agency budgeting elements that are already built into the solution. With that as a foundation, we help configure a system that meets your agency's specific requirements; includes repeatable, interrelated processes; and helps save you time.
This advanced standard provides the tools, transparency, and confidence needed to prioritize, make, and support financial and resource decisions. You can also use built-in dynamic data visualizations to identify areas where budgets, plans, or execution are off track.
BudgetSync in action
A large federal intelligence agency had more than a dozen homegrown financial databases—each with a different level of accuracy and completeness—plus two separate processes for budget submission and execution reporting. Analysts spent many hours entering data and manipulating spreadsheets to create a consolidated view of the agency's spending.
The agency implemented BudgetSync and linked it to the accounting system, effectively eliminating additional data entry and improving accuracy and completeness. Now spending against budget can be tracked in near-real time and the annual actual execution reconciliation process time dropped from three weeks to one day.

Your agency stands to gain a lot from an integrated platform like ours: Expanded access to budget and requirements planning data, visibility into program performance against plans and budgets, stronger connections between agency resources and current and future strategies, and more.
