BROOMFIELD, CO - May 27, 2008.
Innoprise Software, Inc. today announced that the Village of Greenwood
Village, Colorado, has deployed Innoprise Software, Inc.’s Community
Development software. Greenwood Village is live on Building
Permits, Code Enforcement, and Planning & Zoning modules. The
Innoprise solution replaced their existing SunGard Public Sector
(formerly H.T.E. Inc.) legacy applications that had been in place for
10 years. Greenwood Village, Colorado is situated in Arapahoe County,
immediately south of Denver. The Village is a unique community with a
population of approximately 14,200 residents and a "daytime" population
made up of approximately 35,000 members of our business community.
The Village has been looking for a new application for
several years. They investigated buying best of breed applications and
paying to have them integrated. They also looked at other
ERP-style systems, and possibly development and support of their
existing application in house. “The Innoprise application suite is the
first solution that has taken the ERP-style application for municipal
government and brought it into the world of current technology,” said
Andy Atencio, Chief Technology Officer for the Village. “The openness
of the application platform and system configuration combined with the
data reporting functionality addresses our most significant areas of
pain that the current systems provide us,” added Atencio.
“Our Community Development application has always been lacking
flexibility in managing data and extracting data in to a useful format
for reporting,” said Atencio. “The lack of flexibility also impacted
the department’s ability to improve or change business processes to
improve customer service and response. From a systems perspective
management of the data in the previous system was cumbersome and at
times expensive. Integration of data into the system from other sources
like the County or the State typically cost significant amounts of
money and time to accomplish, if it was even able to be done,”
explained Atencio.
The features that have most impressed staff at the Village
with their new Innoprise Community Development software are the ability
to put reporting in the hands of all users, rather than just those who
understand a complex reporting tool. Another key benefit is the
ability for the departments to design a “best case” business process
and then configure the software to support that process is also huge
for the usability and efficiency of the application. “From an IT systems
perspective we anticipate major cost savings by utilizing inexpensive
Intel-based hardware rather than extremely expensive IBM mid-range
systems and the expertise required to administer those systems.
Our new system will eventually save the Village a significant amount of
operating expense,” said Atencio.
Innoprise Software, Inc. provides enterprise software for
the specific business challenges of utilities and local government
agencies. Innoprise provides next generation software for CIS,
financial management, community development, tax and work management.
The new software is based on 30 years of industry experience, Java™ and
Internet technologies that enable Innoprise customers to reduce their
cost of service, streamline operations and improve productivity. For
