8. Communication & Marketing What GSA is Doing:

9. Reporting Objectives • The objective of reporting is to capture data for business intelligence to allow agencies to: • Better manage expenditures and measure cost savings • Monitor compliance with applicable regulations, agency policies and mandates • Manage vendor performance • Target outreach to increase usage • Negotiate better pricing

10. Reported data will be available for Agencies to download from the FSSI Knowledge Management Portal PROPOSED STANDARD REPORTS Additional reports could be available through Ad Hoc reporting capabilities and SmartPay reporting

11. Customer Data Reporting • Current Level III reporting provides customer information at the Agency and Bureau level • Agency provides the customer Agency (e.g. DHS) • Bureau provides the sub-agency customer level (e.g. FEMA) • No additional information is needed from Agencies to provide this level of data • More granular reports on customer information would require coordination with agencies to identify and collect data elements • Detailed customer information is managed at the specific Agency SmartPay management office • Information may be able to be integrated into reporting • GSA is working with FSSI vendors and SmartPay management offices to determine how best this can be accomplished
