Hickey & Associates helps companies identify, negotiate, secure, implement, manage and
administer public financial incentives that add revenue and reduce the cost of doing business.
They also help companies in location selection by selecting the right community, at the right time
and with the right public incentives. These services include labor market analysis, demographic
studies, financial modeling, economic impact studies and securing incentives for “going green”.
As part of the “Hickey Model” they ensure positive relationships with public agencies, government
officials and community leaders that result in “win-win” for the company and community. Hickey and
Associates will identify, negotiate, secure, and administer your public incentives, using a variety
of technologies to assist in this process. Direct involvement in the management of incentives is
maintained throughout the full life of the incentive. Their goal for you is simple: to achieve
maximum value.
Prior to contacting Amadeus Consulting, Hickey & Associates managed all incentives using
various updates of Excel spreadsheets. However, due to the increasing demand for incentive
compliance tracking, extra auditing and scrutiny by government agencies, the sophisticated
administrative work necessitated a more powerful, customized piece of software and management
system. Furthermore, the original system would not be scalable; a major drawback for a growing
company.
To tackle these issues, Amadeus Consulting created a user-friendly, web-based system to track
incentives. Referred to as the Public Incentive Management System (PIMS), the system allows
multiple companies and users to manage incentives at the same time, while still keeping data
secure. The automated system tracks dates and milestones related to each incentive, and informs
users when action is required. Advanced algorithms written within the code help determine ROI,
and charts, graphs, and reports can all be generated in real-time. Additionally, an internal
calculation engine allows users to create customizable incentive calculations, and geocoding
allows for mapping and plotting of nationwide incentives. With an easy-to-use interface, users
can not only import and export data using Excel, but also have the capability to export to
a .pdf file for portability. An automated system such as PIMS helps to insure secure, efficient
compliance with incentives, so that businesses receive the maximum benefit from their investment.
