This week is a significant moment for AST as the Program Information Collection System (PICS) turns 20! Since its launch in 2004, PICS has been a game-changer for federal program planning, budgeting, and execution. This powerful cloud-based tool, used by over 3,000 users across 71 programs, enables 24/7 access to real-time data and reporting for R&D and mission-critical activities.
As Matt Brainard, Sr. Program Analyst, shared: “As we celebrate 20 years with PICS, it’s incredible to reflect on how our robust system has evolved to meet the growing needs of our customers. The reliability and flexibility of PICS have consistently provided unparalleled support, helping organizations streamline operations and achieve their goals. We’re proud of the impact we’ve made, and we look forward to continuing to deliver exceptional service for years to come.”
Here’s to 20 more years of driving innovation!
