City of Casa Grande, AZ Goes Live on Innoprise Financial Software

BROOMFIELD, CO - December 12, 2007. Innoprise Software, Inc. announced today that Arizona’s City of Casa Grande has gone live with Innoprise's Financial Management software. The new application replaced the city's legacy Financial system.

Casa Grande provides city services to more than 30,000 residential, commercial and industrial customers. Casa Grande deployed Innoprise’s Community Development software in May 2006 to support the city's need for an integrated solution that automates the creation, issuance, and tracking of their community development activities.

The decision to purchase new software was driven by the need to provide easy access to data across departments and improve integration with other systems within the city.  “We wanted to have a system that's easy enough for non-technical employees to access the information they need without intervention by our IT department,” said Stephanie Adams, IT Manager for the City.  Eliminating many of the manual-based business processes and inefficiencies was another key business driver for Casa Grande. Seamless integration to the city’s existing mission critical systems, such as our Community Development Center software was another priority.

The new Innoprise Financial Management software is bringing many benefits to Casa Grande.  For starters, the financial department can now use online purchase orders. The ease of use and workflow allows the purchaser to enter data that flows through the entire system which results in generating a check.  The automated purchase order process replaces a manual process on Casa Grande’s legacy financial system that involved multiple copies and a hand written system.  The duplicate, manual process left a lot of room for error and meant that data had to be recorded at least twice. Having a single point of entry has improved efficiency and keeps paperwork from being misplaced.  Departmental users across the city are now able to view and report on any financial data that they have been assigned proper security access.  “Empowering our organizational-wide staff to access their own financial data when they need it not only takes the burden off Finance staff, but improves efficiencies throughout the city,” explained Larry Rains, Director of Finance/IT for the City.
