Recovery Optimization and Management
Manage stimulus recovery-funded projects with a higher degree of transparency, better accountability and increased effectiveness
How SAS® Can Help
SAS combines advanced analytic capabilities with easy-to-use, Web-based reporting solutions to empower budget officers and stimulus managers to discover answers to their stimulus fund allocation questions, format presentation-quality results and easily share their findings with governors, citizens and the media.
As a proven industry leader used by state governments, SAS offers award-winning data integration, advanced analytics and reporting solutions so you can:
- Integrate data from existing, siloed grants management, financial and budgeting IT systems to then extract, cleanse, consolidate and report on that data.
- Rapidly implement with minimal resources of staff, time and money and minimal disruption of other critical program resources.
- Perform econometric modeling, simulation and forecasting with extensive economic systems modeling techniques.
- Analyze jobs created from recovery funds by estimating both the direct and indirect effects of the stimulus money
How SAS® Is Different
SAS’ better data analysis leads to better gauging of program effectiveness, transparency and accountability:
- Flexible framework. Unlike enterprise resource planning systems, SAS delivers results in months – not years. Start with the capabilities needed right now, such as data integration to take data out of siloed systems, and bring it together to have information available in a data warehouse. Then, as new functionality is added incrementally over time, the benefits continue to multiply while the total cost of ownership is reduced.
- Predictive analytics. SAS is unique in its ability to help state governments make proactive, forward-looking decisions using forecasting, predictive modeling and optimization. SAS not only provides the tools, but also best-practice approaches and capabilities to review indicators that you may have missed.
- Integrated platform. SAS is the only business analytics vendor with a platform engineered to seamlessly deliver data integration, reporting and analytics through a single framework that can grow flexibly within and across government organizations. All of these capabilities can be leveraged to improve performance and manage change throughout state government.

SAS® Fraud Framework for Government
Government agencies face enormous challenges in attempting to prevent improper payments caused by fraud, waste and abuse. The US Office of Management and Budget estimated that the government lost more than $125 billion in improper payments in fiscal year 2010 alone – a conservative estimate at best. And it's the taxpayer who ends up footing the bill. The SAS Fraud Framework for Government can help agencies at all levels of government wage a war against the misuse of government funds.
