Executive Summary

Benefits

CAPPS objectives achieved to date translate into benefits for the state and all agencies on CAPPS.

Transparency

CAPPS reporting capabilities allow for easier reporting across agencies, providing executives with a statewide view of budget and spending information at the level of detail needed for managing the state’s resources.

Security

CAPPS security is up to date and comprehensive, delivering security mechanisms that control access across all levels and functions in CAPPS. Most security control mechanisms can be implemented at any scale or level of detail to respond to specific security needs. Along with being highly configurable and customizable, CAPPS security offers auditable and reportable security-specific data.

In addition, the Comptroller’s office launched a new identity and access management (IAM) platform in June 2021. The IAM platform enhanced security for CAPPS and its component systems by adding multi-factor authentication, adaptive authentication and single sign-on access.

Accessibility

CAPPS complies with the state’s accessibility requirements for electronic and information resources. Special needs users can access CAPPS using accessibility tools such as the JAWS screen reader.
