Investment Detail
BPHC management identifies methods to avoid unnecessary costs and leverage cost savings via BHCMIS funding review meetings throughout every fiscal year. It has determined that the most cost effective approach to managing BHCMIS is to modernize existing modules using current technology to exploit new technological efficiencies; integrate module capabilities where possible; upgrade the codes and improve navigation and layout in order to provide a faster and more enjoyable user interface; leverage the use of enterprise-level business intelligence tools, and continue the development of several modules that support Federally mandated legislation with additional functionality and features. Some examples of ROI include the following: FTCA-redesigned compliance notice reduced the time to write notices by over 50%. The Loan Guarantee Program module reduced the process for completing a loan guarantee application from 4-6 months to less than one month.
