BROOMFIELD, CO - June 24, 2009. The City of McKinney, Texas has contracted with Innoprise Software, Inc. for new ERP software that will replace the City’s current systems. The City purchased Innoprise CIS, Community Development, Financial Management including Payroll and Human Resources software, along with implementation and training services. The City is located 30 miles north of Dallas and is the county seat of Collin County. McKinney is one of the fastest-growing cities in the U.S. with a current population of 121,000.

Don Grammar, Director of Information Technology for the City explains that McKinney was ready to replace its legacy systems that had been in place for over fourteen years. The outdated design of these older-generation systems use a flat file system and drains resources and IT costs in order to implement system modifications. “Sometimes we experienced long lead times for seemingly easy changes to the system with our current system,” explained Grammar. “We also found it difficult to integrate our existing system with other applications,” adds Grammar. The open architecture of the Innoprise solution provides seamless integration to third party applications using the latest technology advances including web services.

Another business challenge McKinney had with their existing legacy system was the inability for average end users to obtain data from the system easily and quickly, therefore the usability of the Innoprise system was a key attractor for the McKinney team. “All of our users that had the opportunity to see the system in use were very impressed with the ease of input and output plus the configurability of the system at the user level,” explained Grammar.

Grammar explained that Innoprise has the experience and expertise with legacy systems to ensure the conversion process is smoother, less time consuming and less painful than any other approach with more than 60% of their customer base converting from a legacy system. “We were very impressed with Innoprise, their approach to customer service and their willingness to work with us on our specific needs in an enterprise software system,” said Grammar. “By implementing Innoprise’s ERP software, McKinney anticipates improving departmental efficiency, lowering integration costs and providing overall improvements in customer service,” adds Grammar.
