FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The City of Haltom City
Deploys Financial Management Software from Innoprise Software, Inc.™
BROOMFIELD, CO, June 20, 2007 - Innoprise Software,
Inc. today announced that the City of Haltom City, located in the
North Central Texas Metroplex, has gone live with the General Ledger,
Accounts Payable and Budget modules of Innoprise Financials. The
new software will replace a legacy system that no longer meets the
city’s changing business requirements. Haltom City provides
city services, as well as water and sewer collection and treatment
services to over 13,000 customer accounts within the boundaries
of the City.
Haltom City wanted to take advantage of the latest advances in
the field of computer software designed for use in municipal finance
operations. The city’s existing legacy system had been in
place since 1997 and utilizes a proprietary database that stifles
the ability to access information across departments. “It
was difficult to share information on our legacy system and it lacked
any type of web capability,” said Joel Welch, Director of
Finance for the City. “Our existing system lacked the capability
to sort, filter and display information online. Monthly and other
reports had to be created first and then printed for review and
analysis,” explained Welch. The reporting capability on Haltom
City’s existing system was very limited and extremely complicated
and required a third-party report writer just to extract much of
the information. City officials require the flexibility to make
adjustments to financial reports in order to make informed business
decisions.
“We are looking forward to using Innoprise’s unique
data filter tool that will allow our users to make system-wide inquiries
and easily download the results into Microsoft Word and/or Excel
with one click,” added Welch. In addition, the City was also
looking for a browser-based solution that staff other than primary
users could easily understand. “Haltom City was looking for
a solution that is easy to learn and use, since we are planning
on increasing the number of users with access to the new Innoprise
applications by 60 percent,” explained Welch. The look, feel
and operation of the system is 21st century, not 20th Century with
a new face. The seamless ties between Innoprise and Microsoft are
highly efficient and will bring many benefits to the City of Haltom
City.
