*NEW* OpenBook Project Explorer for Capital Budgets

The Capital Budget module within Questica Budget, now seamlessly connects to OpenBook, our web-based transparency solution bringing the ability for local governments to display capital projects on an interactive map.

The OpenBook Project Explorer now allows cities, counties, agencies and states to display on a map every infrastructure project, including the budget, actual spend, funding sources, and accompanying documentation, images, video, etc. Governments can also link related activities to showcase the depth and scope of capital projects that are happening in a city, region, state/province or country.

Accurately models and forecasts all costs associated with positions and employees. Allows you to develop budgets with new positions and all the connected financial impacts including wages, benefits, labor costs, union and contract expenses, and more. Budget at the employee level, job code level, or any level you choose. Allocate your positions to any number of departments/budgets.

Set the standards for your city, county, agency or state with a system of programs, measures and scorecards. Go beyond the financials and track an unlimited number of budget and non-budget key performance indicators (KPIs) with Questica Performance.

Questica Budget now includes an Advanced Calculation Engine (ACE) that enables government agencies to create complex modelling for revenue, projections, and activity-based costing. Users can create formulas ranging from a single formula in a cell up to large scale mathematical models to do things such as forecasting expenses and revenue from drivers and historical data. For example a city, state, town or county could determine the expenses to resurface a stretch of road based on its type and length.

This new system-wide module for Questica Budget allows users to configure and generate all three major financial statements, including Income Statements, Balance Sheets, and Cash Flow Statements.

Each of these statements include both a current statement and the ability to look forward using your projections. Plus, it includes 11 new out-of-the-box reports. With a new set of accounts for assets, liabilities and equities, this new module helps give a complete picture of your current financials and the road ahead.
