The web-enabled SIAP Financial Database™ (FDB™) was developed for the SIAP Task Force as a management tool to allocate resources annually and to track the processes of budgeting, planning and execution of funds down to the fifth level of the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). The users of this product, primarily upper management, will access the financial information via a secured internet connection.
SIAP Financial Database (FDB) is a web-enabled database that allows upper management to prioritize tasks, to track funding status, to track execution performance, and to track dependencies and deliverables as each task progresses. FDB can track and manage budgets and priorities for tasks in future fiscal periods. It also provides miscellaneous reports for past, current and future fiscal years such as group tasking, WBS task summaries to the fifth level, fiscal year funding and expenditures.
