The Electronic Capital Planning and Investment Control (eCPIC) System is a government-owned, web-based application that is designed to help agencies in the management and control of their initiatives, portfolios, and investment priorities, as well as in the preparation and submission of budget data to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). This software provides streamlined functionality and a state-of-the-art eGov architecture that embraces over five years of lessons learned and best practices. Operations and maintenance of this application is governed through the eCPIC Service Level Agreement (SLA). Decisions regarding the current functionality and surrounding future enhancements will be implemented per direction from the eCPIC SLA. The Federal Agencies that make up the SLA participate in the eCPIC Change Management Committee (CMC), which meets monthly to share lessons learned, review the status of the project, and prioritize actions associated with the application’s operations and maintenance.
eCPIC assists managers and staff involved in capital planning to assess initiatives in
terms of their costs, risks, and expected returns, and to determine the appropriate
mix of investments with regard to these and other organizational and technological
considerations. eCPIC provides managers and staff with ready and shared access
to up-to-date information about individual capital planning initiatives, a particular
type of initiative, or about their entire investment portfolio.
eCPIC is not a replacement for a documented and functional Capital Planning and Investment
Control process. As a tool, it is designed to be part of an organization's CPIC and
IT architecture management process - a process that complies with legislative and
OMB requirements as well as appropriate to the size, scope, mission and structure
of the organization.

eCPIC, or I-TIPS as it was originally named, began in 1997 with a joint
investment from the Department of Energy and Al Gore's IT Innovation fund
to create a web-based application to support agencies in the management, selection, control, and
evaluation of Information Technology (IT) initiatives.
Today, and after years of lessons learned and continued governmental support, eCPIC
is the leader in Investment Planning, Invesmtent Control, and the submission of
budgetary reports for the government.
