Recovery Act Accountability

 The OCS is working with the Office of Tennessee Recovery Act Management (TRAM) to provide guidance and support to agencies receiving American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funds.  This team will also be responsible for facilitating adherence to the reporting and accountability requirements set forth by the federal government. Visit the Tennessee Recovery website at www.tnrecovery.gov for more information.

Process Improvement

OCS is currently working with Finance and Administration’s Benefits Administration Division (BA) to modify the existing process for managing documents and customer interactions.  The project includes a new workflow system which will help division staff efficiently track customer transactions and retrieve stored information.  This is a joint effort among the BA staff, OCS, the Office for Shared Technology Services, and the Office for Information Resources.
