Case Study: D.C. Department of Health achieves 95%+ reduction in audit findings and streamlined grants management with REI Systems' GovGrants

D.C. Department of Health - Customer Case Study

The D.C. Department of Health was struggling with fragmented, paper-heavy grants processes across five divisions—relying on spreadsheets and homegrown systems that caused errors, poor accountability and audit findings. To eliminate manual errors, reduce audit findings and standardize operations, the agency engaged REI Systems to implement its GovGrants Enterprise Grants Management System (EGMS).

REI Systems deployed a cloud-based GovGrants EGMS to automate the full grants lifecycle, provide real-time mobile access, and standardize workflows across bureaus. The implementation resulted in measurable gains: more than 90% of tasks and assignments are completed on time, grant managers built 50+ canned reports for status and payments, and audit findings dropped by 95%+, enabling the D.C. Department of Health to more effectively manage roughly $120 million in grants and 350 staff while focusing on mission outcomes like Ryan White HIV/AIDS services.
