Effort Reporting Software From IT Works

IT Works provides Effort Reporting Software for Higher Education and Research Institutes. Effort reporting is a fundamental part of sponsored project management. Unfortunately, interpretations of federal effort reporting guidelines as described in OMB Circulars A-21, A-110, and A-122 vary by institution. Furthermore, the combination of federal guidelines with state and internal policies and procedures has caused many institutions to struggle. Their struggle has been in both developing solid policies and procedures as well as finding an effort reporting software solution to implement them. While many of the larger research intensive institutions have used consulting firms to help develop policies and install their effort reporting software, the cost has been high, often well into the millions of dollars. Smaller institutions with more limited budgets continue to use paper or spreadsheet solutions instead.

IT Works provides Effort Reporting Software that is affordable, powerful and easy to implement. Fortunately, there is a new effort reporting software solution. It is Effort Administrator from IT Works. The first effort reporting software system that is not only powerful but affordable and easy to implement. IT Works, a national software technology company with over twenty years of experience implementing grant management systems and working with administrators from nationally recognized research institutions. Effort Administrator is an internet based effort reporting software solution that has been developed based on the input of numerous research administrators. It is flexible and can be configured to the effort reporting policies of your institution. Effort Administrator is an effort reporting software system that integrates with your existing payroll, accounting, grant management, and HR software systems. Effort Administrator provides institutions with three reporting options: certified effort reports based on time sheet data, certified effort reports based on salary distribution records, and certified effort reports based on payroll records. Our effort reporting software solution allows institutions to certify and report according to their own schedule (by week, month, quarter, semester, etc.).

The IT Works effort reporting software solution includes a multi-tiered certification and approval system. The Effort Administrator time and effort reporting software system provides reports to individual business units within your institution; reduces administrative overhead, and improves compliance management. It includes a multi-tiered certification and approval system that allows individual employees to add, modify, and/or approve their time records. Administrators can then review, approve, and certify effort reports for their organizational unit.

With Effort Administrator, the time and effort certification process starts with the end user. Depending on the method of implementation, research scientists and staff can review, modify, and approve records that have been provided to them, or if needed, enter their own time records. Then, Effort Administrator’s internal routing and approval system passes completed certified effort reports onto the appropriate administrative users when it is their turn to complete the approval process. The effort reporting software solution includes an internal notification system which reminds users of incomplete or outstanding records.
