Process Automation for OMB Exhibits 300 and 53

Support for federal compliance

Process automation based on Planview Enterprise provides a comprehensive structure that updates the necessary fields for submitting OMB Exhibits. This leads to a significant reduction in time and labor while improving accuracy.

Federal Requirements for OMB Exhibits 300 and 53

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-11 requires that federal capital requests must be captured and submitted in standardized formats known as Exhibits 300 and 53. Exhibit 300 concerns business cases for IT investments, submitted annually to the OMB. Exhibit 53, also submitted annually, involves summary information for all IT investments in an agency's portfolio.

The overall goal of Exhibit 300 and 53 submissions is to ensure a strong business case for IT investments as well as proper alignment of these investments with an agency's mission and objectives. The submission process can be lengthy and complex, requiring large amounts of data and strict adherence to OMB requirements that are frequently updated.
