FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Visible Strategies enhances SEE-IT™ to offer low-cost ARRA federal stimulus reporting solution to cities & counties
SEE-IT™ software helps local governments report stimulus data for October deadline
VANCOUVER, CANADA, September 9, 2009 — Today Visible Strategies, provider of the world’s most visually-engaging performance management and communications software, announced a timely enhancement to their SEE-ITTM software providing a low-cost, rapid-deployment alternative for stimulus recipients to meet their American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) reporting requirements to federalreporting.gov.
Building on SEE-IT’s current ability to provide local governments with the most visually-engaging, transparent communications of their stimulus funding plans and progress to stakeholders, “SEE-IT for Stimulus” now enables these same organizations to:
- Streamline and centralize data collection for federalreporting.gov stimulus reporting requirements.
- Generate an XML-based stimulus report file for upload to federalreporting.gov.
- Simultaneously update reporting data and high-impact, Web-based visualization tools including the SEE-IT organizing tool, individual scorecard displays, and summary tables of stimulus results.
“By incorporating official federal stimulus reporting into SEE-IT, we are now effectively the most affordable, complete stimulus tracking solution for local recipients. SEE-IT offers stimulus communications, funds management, and now, ARRA reporting without high software subscription fees or the need for extensive, and often very expensive, up-front consulting work,” said Colin Grant, CEO and Founder of Visible Strategies. “This also bodes well for existing customers of SEE-IT who are eager to leverage the platform for stimulus purposes - without a large additional investment in funds or time.”
To date, cities such as Albuquerque, New Mexico and Richmond, California are using SEE-IT to communicate their stimulus spending plans. Additional U.S. cities are also underway.
SEE-IT for Stimulus will be showcased at the ICMA Annual Conference in Montreal running September 13th to 16th. Visible Strategies will be at booth #502.
