NBS—What’s New

The NBS took its first step in October, as the General Ledger and Budget modules began running in concert with the Administrative Database (ADB). This parallel operation will continue for several months.

•	Finance	The NBS Project Team is teaching some end users how to maintain the NBS and the ADB simultaneously and how to enter new Projects (CANs) and the funding budget.
•	Travel	In early spring 2003, the NBS Travel System will bring a Web-based environment to NIH, along with various automated features. A three-step training program is underway, preparing over 2,300 users for deployment by using a combination of computer-based training (CBT) tools with the traditional, instructor-led classroom training.
•	Property	A property management software package has been chosen. The Sunflower Assets software package will provide the property management functions for the NBS.
