NICHD is deploying Lombardi Teamworks as a strategic application to manage its grants planning processes. Additionally they will utilize Teamworks for Office™ and Teamworks for SharePoint™ to assist in process collaboration and ubiquitous adoption. The new processes will be used by key NICHD staff and medical professionals that initiate and submit requests for research grants. The Teamworks BPM solution will reduce the manual effort involved in the collection and routing of the grants requests, manage review and approval efforts, and provide NICHD executives with greater visibility into their status. The audit capabilities of Lombardi Teamworks will also ensure the capture and management of fine-grained details for every grant approval as required by their regulatory oversight, including who submitted it for approval, who reviewed it, when it was changed and by whom, as well as when, why and who approved the grant.

"Teamworks helps streamline processes, deliver visibility, and increase effectiveness across organizations of all sizes," said Olivier Gachot, executive vice president of worldwide sales, Lombardi. "Lombardi is proud to help government agencies such as NICHD to manage, scale and improve their critical grants management business process."
