Fire District Chooses Financial Management Software from Innoprise
Software, Inc.™
BROOMFIELD, CO, June 5, 2007 - Innoprise Software,
Inc. today announced that St. Lucie County’s Fire District
in Florida has contracted with Innoprise Software, Inc. for new
financial management software that will replace the district’s
legacy system. St. Lucie purchased Innoprise Financials, Human Resources
and Payroll software, along with hardware and implementation services.
The District is located on the eastern edge of the south-central
coast of Florida in the heart of what is known as "The Treasure
Coast". Three Battalions, totaling fifteen stations, serve
three municipalities as well as the unincorporated area of St. Lucie
County.
St. Lucie is scheduled to implement Innoprise financial software
first with a target go live of October 2007, followed by Human Resources
and Payroll software.
Innoprise applications use a Java™ 2 Platform, Enterprise
Edition (J2EE™) architecture that enables advanced functionality
not possible with older-generation legacy systems. “Our existing
financial package is still using the same code written 20 years
ago,” said Gary Perdew, Clerk-Treasurer for the district.
“Our existing application was very difficult to learn, cumbersome
to use and frustrating when trying to retrieve data for reports,”
added Perdew.
The district was looking for a solution that was user-friendly,
web-based and utilized the newest technology validating the Innoprise
solution is at the beginning of the product life-cycle. "The
new software uses pull-down menus for simple application navigation,"
explained Perdew. "All of the modules look very similar. When
the user understands how to use or navigate one module they can
very easily learn the nuances of the others," added Perdew.
The Vendors making the final list were Innoprise, Banner, ADP and
MUNIS. When the selection committee reviewed the responses their
number one comment was the Innoprise solution offered the district
the most value per taxpayer dollar spent versus the other packages.

new integrated financial system," said Perdew.
