Challenge

To expedite delivery of grants management and monitoring systems for HHS customers. In coordination with GrantSolutions.gov, iTech AG leveraged the ServiceNow Platform to:

  1. Support the post-award management and monitoring activities for Federal grants
  2. Replace the Single Audit Tracking and Analysis System and integration with the new Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC) that was deployed in October 2023.
  3. Determines critical drug trafficking regions for federal, state, and local assistance in response to the White House’s High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTA) Program that secures the health and safety of the American public.

Approach

iTech AG developed three custom applications built on the ServiceNow platform that imported legacy data, improves business processes and workflows, conducts complex data calculations and logic, and provides reporting functions, data analytics, and case management capabilities.
