Grant Management with FedRAMP Certification: Microsoft Dynamics 365

Federal agencies that administer grant programs are obligated to move to cloud solutions where possible, while maintaining adherence with security regulations such as FedRAMP which set high standards for cloud data centers.

Dynamics 365 U.S. Government was granted a FedRAMP Agency ATO at the Moderate Impact Level by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Although the scope of the certification is limited to the Government Community Cloud, Dynamics 365 U.S. Government business and enterprise plans operate following the same set of stringent FedRAMP controls. For instance, Microsoft operates cloud data centers in the United States that are staffed by U.S. citizens only.

Grants Manager Plus running on the Microsoft Government Cloud allows agencies to fulfill their mission as grantors with a cloud solution that has achieved FedRAMP compliance.

Grantees submit applications and post-award reports through a grants portal.

The Grants Manager Plus solution accelerator is an all-in-one, integrated solution that simplifies the grants process from initial solicitation through review, scoring, award, payment processing and post award reporting.  Powered by Microsoft Dynamics 365, it includes optional integration with Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations to offer a financial back-end process, such as authorization of funding sources and processing of payment requests from Grants Manager Plus.
