Groundswell Integrated Budget Suite (GIBS) - Strategy

Overview

The Strategy Module supports federal requirements for the Annual Performance Plan and Annual Performance Report while also enabling internal performance management practices. Multi year views, structured workflows, and audit ready traceability give leadership a reliable picture of progress across programs and objectives. GIBS was designed for federal needs rather than adapted from private sector tools and is proven across defense and civilian portfolios.
