The indirect cost rate is lowered. Targeted savings in the areas of purchasing and administrative staffing are achieved.

The frequency of data feeds from external systems is increased. Whenever possible, data input is changed from batch process to real-time input by users. Central systems are sufficiently flexible to capture any data considered relevant by users. Users are given direct access to data, and the tools to derive and analyze management information. Data definitions are consistent.
