BROOMFIELD, CO – June 16, 2009. Innoprise Software, Inc. today announced that Arizona’s City of Casa Grande has gone live with Innoprise's CIS software. The new application replaced the city's in-house CIS system. Casa Grande provides city services to more than 30,000 residential, commercial and industrial customers.

Casa Grande had an assortment of software five years ago when they began looking for an integrated solution using forward looking technology to streamline their business processes and facilitate turning data into knowledge. “After a lot of research and demonstrations, the decision was made to go with Innoprise since it would allow us our choice of database and operating system,” said Stephanie Adams, IT Manager for the City. “Innoprise applications all utilize a browser based interface that makes deployment and updates a simple process from an IT perspective,” said Adams. Casa Grande deployed Innoprise’s Community Development software in May 2006 to support the cities need for an integrated solution that automates the creation, issuance and tracking of their community development activities. In December of 2007, the City went live on Innoprise Financial Management software.

One of the major advantages of the new CIS system for Casa Grande is simply processing billing when desired. “Now we can set up a billing run, schedule when it will run and eliminate the stress we had experienced if there was no one available who knew how to run a billing,” explained Adams. Other features the City is now enjoying is the ability to tie services to a location and then link the location to an account. This feature allows Casa Grande to have one account per individual instead of one account per location. Tying services to location also facilitates mapping services via the City’s GIS software and identifying locations that are occupied but do not have appropriate accounts. “We can overlay the previously deployed Innoprise Occupational Licensing, Planning and Zoning, Development Permits and Code Enforcement data on this as well to verify if a property is occupied,” said Adams.

“Integration with our Financials module is a huge plus and will resolve the ongoing problem we've had for many years of balancing accounts receivable software totals with financials software totals,” said Adams. The ability to pull up an invoice from any past billing is another major bonus for the City. In the past, a programmer would have to be asked to recreate the invoice through a painstaking process, or, at the very least, look up the data in a file saved at the time of billing. With Innoprise CIS customer service representatives taking phone calls can use activity logs to instantaneously look up information to resolve problems promptly and improve customer service.
