Special offer allows agencies to pre-score, refine and improve Exhibit 300s prior to OMB submission

Métier, Ltd., an innovator in statistical project portfolio management software and services, today announced a special offer for government agencies and their contractors. The company is providing its automated, objective Exhibit 300 pre-scoring technology as part of a limited time analytical service for Budget Year 2006 (BY06) investments. This offer is available for BY06 submissions only, from now through August 31, 2004.

By continually scoring and refining business case submissions prior to the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) September deadline, agencies can improve scores and submit Exhibit 300s with confidence. Métier provides this "top-down" approach for agencies not yet implementing integrated portfolio management, but who want the opportunity to 'work forward' by making better decisions and improving investment scores using the WorkLenz engine. Our clients submitted with confidence for BY05, with pre-determined scores that were up to 98 percent consistent with OMB passback. These agencies are beginning this process for BY06 now to refine submissions before September.

Métier analysts have developed an accurate, objective algorithmic-based scoring system for BY06 based on OMB's traditionally subjective process. Métier provides the only end-to-end project portfolio management solution for OMB reporting, including automated pre-scoring and submission for Exhibit 300, Exhibit 53, C&A, FISMA and alignment with the FEA. Its WorkLenz software is the only application that can deliver automated, accurate and objective scoring consistent with OMB's methodology. Agencies and contractors interested in learning more about this service for the BY06 reporting process are encouraged to call Métier at 202-965-9500.
