| Tungsten Automation | Legacy | Kofax MarkView | AP Automation | ERP | n/a | 2012 | 2012 |
In 2012, National Institutes of Health implemented Kofax MarkView as an AP Automation solution to centralize invoice capture and streamline routed approval workstreams. The deployment targeted accounts payable processing in Bethesda MD operations, where accounting technicians interact daily with scanned invoice images and automated workflows to prepare payment actions.
Kofax MarkView was configured to provide invoice capture and imaging, automated workflow routing, exception and disallowance handling, and payment initiation capabilities. The implementation included document indexing and retrieval, role-based task queues for accounting technicians, and configuration to surface award-related invoice elements for specialized processing.
Operational integrations explicitly include the NBS NIH business system for payment posting, Oracle financials for financial ledger interactions, iSupplier for supplier invoice touchpoints, and inbound scanned images from the OFM mail room as the document intake source. The solution is used alongside award documents and central point of distribution processes to support invoice lifecycle orchestration across payment, award, and procurement touchpoints.
Governance and process controls emphasize federal compliance, technicians trained on the Prompt Payment Act and bill payment procedures, and daily operational practices such as vendor inquiry handling and mailing manual unpayable notices. The Kofax MarkView AP Automation deployment is documented as part of standard operating procedures for invoice review, validation, and routing within NIH accounts payable.

In 2023 the National Institutes of Health contracted with Freelancer through the NASA Tournament Lab to administer the TARGETED Genome Editor Delivery Challenge using Freelancer Enterprise and leveraging Contingent Labor Management capabilities for innovation sourcing. The engagement supported an R&D biomedical innovation use case in the United States, with NIH and Freelancer co-designing challenge parameters and a public prize competition carrying a $6,000,000 total prize purse.
Implementation emphasis was on Freelancer Enterprise functions for challenge administration and contingent labor sourcing, Freelancer supported challenge design and management, and the implementation reflected common Contingent Labor Management workflows. Inferred functional modules included structured participant onboarding, submission and entry management, milestone tracking and adjudication workflows, and orchestration of prize disbursement processes, aligned with the lifecycle of a large prize challenge.
Operational scope covered NIH Common Fund research program stakeholders and centralized challenge operations in the United States, with Freelancer administering the public challenge portal and coordinating solver engagement through the NASA Tournament Lab channel. Governance was organized around contest rules, managed evaluation processes and NIH oversight of scientific scope and prize terms, reflecting a sourced contingent labor model applied to innovation challenge administration.

| Broadcom | Legacy | AppWorx Workload Automation | Business Process Management | ERP Services and Operations | n/a | 2017 | 2017 |
In 2017, the National Institutes of Health implemented AppWorx Workload Automation within its Business Process Management toolset to orchestrate scheduled workloads across its Oracle application landscape. The implementation centered on AppWorx Workload Automation as a scheduler and orchestration layer integrated into the on-premises Oracle E-Business Suite R12 environment at NIH Bethesda, managed by a six person Oracle Apps DBA team working with project management and end users.
AppWorx Workload Automation was deployed against an Oracle stack that included Oracle Database instances undergoing upgrades from 12c to 19c and EBS instances moving from R12.2.3 to R12.2.9, with supporting middleware updates to WebLogic and JDK levels as part of the runtime environment. The Oracle Apps DBA responsibilities included installation, configuration, database administration, cloning, patching, performance tuning, and backup and recovery, and the team implemented Oracle REST Data Services to expose on-premise databases via REST for operational tooling and automation tasks.
The implementation connected AppWorx Workload Automation to a portfolio of functional applications, including e-voucher, CAPS, e-Profile, PTM, Prism, Sunflower, Kofax, Loftware, and GRC, enabling centralized scheduling and orchestration of batch jobs and integration points across those systems. Specific application lifecycle work included Prism upgrades from 7.2 SP7 to 7.3 SP3, GRC upgrades from 8.6.5 to 8.6.6, WebLogic upgrades from 12.1.3 to 12.2.2, and application of CPU and PSU patches across EBS, Sunflower, Prism, and CAPS.
Process governance emphasized repeatable deployment and configuration, the team streamlined and documented procedures to install and deploy configurations across instances and collaborated with project management and users to align job schedules and operational runbooks. The deployment narrative also reflects architectural considerations for Oracle on cloud platforms, with involvement in evaluations of Oracle Database on AWS RDS versus EC2 and related licensing and migration tradeoffs, while AppWorx Workload Automation remained the central Business Process Management orchestration layer for NIH applications.
