Computer Weekly acclaims our client, Department of Transport (DfT), for successful security compliance of their Financial Management Database. DfT runs Information Edge's COINS Application as an interface to the Treasury's COINS system and for its budgetary management. April 2008: Information Edge conducts interview with the Department for Transport’s senior finance team. Information Edge is currently working in partnership with the Department for Transport to deliver what is called their CASSy project (Coins Advanced Solution System / COINS Lite). The CASSy project; supports the continuation of improving the department’s financial management and reporting capabilities, allows the department to continue to efficiently and effectively manage its relationship with HM Treasury whilst delivering its Shared Services programme, and ultimately gives the department greater budgetary control. February 2008: Information Edge, a member of the HM Treasury Performance Management Advisory Panel, contributes to the HM Treasury Publication; Doing the Business: Managing Performance in the Public Sector – an external perspective. Following the Financial Management Advisors Conference in June 2006, HM Treasury set up 4 advisory panels covering the areas of Best Practice, Financial Skills, Corporate Structures and Performance Management. These four areas were deemed the key elements of HM Treasury’s financial management change agenda. As a result of Information Edge’s experience in the public sector we were invited to be a member of the Performance Management Advisory Panel. The Performance Panel’s remit was to consider the key challenges facing central government in performance management, identify and describe “world class” performance management and to make recommendations as to how departments could approach this standard. Membership of the panel was a mix of public and private representatives. With one of the public representatives being a departmental Finance Director to ensure that the outcomes are both practical and can be implemented from a government perspective. The private representatives are specialists currently engaged in providing services to Government departments and the public sector more generally, to act as a sounding board, and to offer advice and reactions on key challenges. The work of the four panels culminated into the following two publications that were formally launched in February 2008 (click links to download):
The Department for Transport (DfT) was moving to Shared Services (supporting HR, Finance & Procurement functions), which went live in April 2008. DfT's old interface system that sits in-between SAP ERP/BW (our accounts system) and COINS (Treasury's system) is supplied by DCLG (DfT's current financial systems suppliers). The old system supported DfT’s corporate budgeting process, corporate master data management, DfT family reporting and consolidation of agency, trading fund and NDPB monthly financial outturns and forecasts. The old system acted as a crucial interface between the high level Treasury COINS System and our own internal lower level budget and transaction systems. The replacement of this system was outside the scope of the main shared services programme and consequently a separate project was set up to deliver a replacement system, COINS Lite, with additional functionality (to cope with internal processes and Shared Services interfaces) within very tight timescales running parallel to the shared services programme.
