Ottawa, November 03, 2010 – Grantium, a division of CSDC Systems Inc, has signed an agreement to provide the Government of Alberta Health and Wellness ministry with an Enterprise Grants Management (EGM) software solution. This brings to four the total number of Alberta ministries who have selected Grantium for the implementation of a grants management system to automate the management and administration of grant programs.

The Health and Wellness ministry is responsible for setting policy and direction to achieve and sustain a responsive and accountable health system. In support of this mission, Health and Wellness is implementing a ministry-wide Grants and Alternate Relationship Plans (ARP) Management System to automate the ministry’s end-to-end processes and streamline the recording, tracking, and monitoring of funding.

Grantium will assist Health and Wellness to deliver web-enabled Grant and ARP programs from initial submission of online applications, through the assessment, evaluation, award and post-award management. By selecting Grantium’s Enterprise Grants Management software, Health and Wellness will be able to consolidate information, ensure timely and accurate access to data, and improve the quality of services provided by allowing staff to focus on the delivery of programs.

The contract is the result of extensive assessment and analysis work conducted by Health and Wellness and will include enterprise and program assessments, deployment services as well as Grantium’s Enterprise Grants Management software. “Alberta Health and Wellness were very thorough in their approach to determining the right fit. After speaking with Grantium users in other Ministries, conducting an internal requirements review, a functional fit/gap analysis and a proof of concept phase, Health and Wellness was confident that the flexibility of Grantium’s software made it the highly configurable tool they needed to accommodate their unique processes.” said Dean Mallory, Director of Strategic Accounts of Grantium.

“We’re very pleased to be welcoming Alberta’s largest ministry to our list of valued clients. We’re very excited about this partnership and look forward to being part of the team that helps to enhance efficiency and optimize health services for Albertans” said Peter Andrews, CEO of Grantium.
