BROOMFIELD, CO - January 29, 2010.  The City of Belton, MO, has gone live on Innoprise Software, Inc.’s Financial Management software.  The new software has replaced a legacy system that no longer meets the city's changing business requirements. Belton provides city services to approximately 25,000 citizens.  

In September 2009, Belton purchased Innoprise’s Smart Government Solution -- a totally integrated IBM hardware and Innoprise software bundle.  Innoprise Financial applications were preloaded onto IBM’s Smart Cube server and shipped to the City providing a total integration resulting in unprecedented simplicity and a rapid implementation.  The entire project took three months with a kick off meeting in early October to Belton live on Innoprise Financials early January.

Belton, like many cities acknowledged their business needs changing over the years and their existing financial software was unable to keep up.  Innoprise applications are designed to grow with local government needs by removing the bottlenecks created by outdated legacy systems. Utilizing state-of-the-art technology, Innoprise applications offer many advances in integration and functionality that software designed in past years are unable to provide.

Mike Wade, Director of Finance for the City explains that Belton was ready to replace its financial software that had been in place for almost 12 years. "It was difficult to access data and custom report capabilities were extremely cumbersome," said Wade. "There were basic flaws in how some transactions are processed from an accounting perspective," added Wade. The new software offers Microsoft™ Office integration and one-touch reporting enabling users across the city to easily exchange data with desktop applications and extract Information to Microsoft Excel to create even the most complex custom reports.  Belton users are happy with the incredibly easy access to data and ability to then format the data into a variety of reports. 

Wade said, “The set up and configuration process was very simple.  Our use of the help desk has been limited, but when we used it I was very impressed!” Belton has been amazed with the ease of use and very short learning curve for basic functions.  “We are looking forward to improving departmental efficiency with new features of Innoprise Financials,” added Wade.
