Technology/Topic: Groundswell Integrated Budget Suite (GIBS)

=====================================

Welcome to the Technical Exchange Meeting (TEM)!

The Groundswell Integrated Budget Suite (GIBS) is a comprehensive, low code budget lifecycle solution built on the Appian platform, purpose built for Federal Civilian and Defense agencies. Designed to address fragmented, inefficient legacy processes, GIBS unifies the full Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution (PPBE) lifecycle encompassing Strategy, Formulation, Planning, and Execution in a modular and adaptable platform. It offers seamless integration with agency systems, robust role-based access controls, dynamic workflows, and intuitive UI/UX features to empower users and drive better alignment between strategic priorities and funding decisions.

The suite delivers significant ROI through automation, predictive analytics, and intuitive dashboards that maximize fund utilization and reduce manual overhead. With support for multi-year forecasting, real time spend visibility, and compliance with standards like OMB A11 and DoD FMR, GIBS helps agencies sunset redundant systems, streamline reporting, and tie financial resources directly to mission outcomes.

GIBS stands apart from traditional COTS and ERP-based budgeting platforms through its foundation on the Appian low code platform, enabling rapid deployment, modular implementation, and lower total cost of ownership. Unlike monolithic ERP systems that are inflexible and require costly customization, GIBS is purpose-built for Federal Civilian and Defense agencies and designed to adapt to each organization’s specific budget lifecycle needs without forcing process changes or full system overhauls. Agencies can modernize at their own pace, implementing individual lifecycle phases—such as Planning or Execution—while benefiting from seamless integration with ERP and obligating systems, robust reconciliation, UDO/ULO tracking, and scenario-based planning. What makes GIBS especially powerful is its intelligent, user-centric design paired with advanced capabilities like AI/ML-powered predictive analytics and chatbot support. These tools surface real-time insights into funding burn rates, support faster decision-making, and streamline user engagement. Combined with flexible workflows, strategic tagging, and support for REST, SOAP, and GraphQL integrations, GIBS delivers a modern, mission-aligned budgeting solution that enhances transparency, accountability, and strategic alignment across the enterprise.
