The BTMS Portal will be the open source solution of BTMS and serves as the gateway to the BTMS application. The portal provides a point of contact between the Government of the Philippines and the public audience. The official website of the project will also work as a repository for the project’s resources, programs and activities. Information about the BTMS is readily available and will include top news, policy issuances, budget performance and related statistics, library of key resources, galleries of photos and videos, and upcoming events.
The established web page for the BTMS project aims to reach a larger group of interested public audience, both locally and globally. Being accessible 24/7, the site can be accessed by the public in different time zones.
The site shall be maintained by the Project Management Office (PMO) in close coordination with the Budget Information and Training Service (BITS).
