Our Services
Acquisition and Financial Management
The Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution (PPBE) process is critical to the allocation of resources within the Department of Defense (DoD) and is equally important in the equivalent processes of other Federal and State organizations as well. Awareness of the nature and timing of the events in that process is important for program managers, their staffs, and other resource professionals since it impacts their ability to provide information that could prove important to program funding and success. GCS, as an accounting and consulting firm, possesses a unique blend of experience with this process at the departmental and service level that can be a very significant contributor to that success. GCS supports every facet of the PPBE lifecycle:
Requirements Development
Budget Tracking and Reconciliation
Budget Development
Budget execution
Business Intelligence and Reporting
Finance, Accounting and Audit Compliance
Enterprise Resource Planning
ERP stands for enterprise resource planning, but what does ERP mean? The simplest way to define ERP is to think about all the core business processes needed to run a company: finance, HR, manufacturing, supply chain, services, procurement, and others. At its most basic level, ERP helps to efficiently manage all these processes in an integrated system. It is often referred to as the system of record of the organization. Yet today’s ERP systems are anything but basic and have little resemblance to the ERP of decades ago. They are now delivered via the cloud and use the latest technologies – such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning – to provide intelligent automation, greater efficiency, and instant insight across the business. Modern cloud ERP software also connects internal operations with business partners and networks around the world, giving companies the collaboration, agility, and speed they need to be competitive today.

GCS Utilizes 4 Multi-Billion Dollar Technology OTAs in Various Tech Arenas to Streamline Funding
Understanding The OTA Process
An “Other Transaction Agreement” or “Other Transaction Authority” (OTA) is a streamlined vehicle that GCS uses to bring innovative research findings and state-of-the-art prototypes from industry to the Federal Government. Congress created the first OTA as a contractual tool for NASA to acquire and apply breakthrough technologies at the advent of the race for space. GCS OTAs enable FAST acquisition of critically needed technologies in areas as diverse as IT, armaments, satellites, medical devices, and electromagnetic spectrum technologies.
OTHER TRANSACTION AUTHORITY (OTA) CONTRACTING ADVANTAGE
Unlike the FAR (Federal Acquisition Regulation), the OT-based consortium model allows government and industry to communicate more openly, from requirement generation to the proposal stage. This enables Government to more clearly articulate their needs in ways that support access to the cutting edge of existing technologies.
Because the overarching contractual arrangement is already in place, OTAs focus on individual project awards, affording greater speed so solutions get to end users sooner
It emphasizes engaging a diverse range of technology suppliers of all sizes, casting a wider net for capturing ideas and innovations
Research and Development
R&D is essential in growing and expanding a business, whether it be a startup or a long-established conglomerate. Research and development encourages businesses to innovate and adapt to trends while testing and improving their products and services. They can match these market trends and still integrate core values, goals, and business models. But businesses and organizations often collaborate with an expert with an outside perspective to determine how to set up a research and development department that will best benefit the business. Businesses and organizations employ research and development consulting services for this task alone.
