BROOMFIELD, CO – December 16, 2009. Dennis Harward, CEO and President of Innoprise Software, Inc. presented his vision for the future of governmental information technology at the World Conference of Mayors, Inc. (WCM). The workshop was titled Raising the Bar for Information Technology.  WCM is a non-profit, non-political worldwide conference, comprised of mayors, former mayors, and other elected and appointed local public officials.  The conference, its 25th Annual was held in Tuskegee, Alabama.    

WCM has supported positive collaborations and initiatives between mayors and cities throughout the world based on their mutual interests and concerns. WCM Founder, Honorable Johnny Ford invited Dennis Harward to participate in the conference.  Mr. Harward’s technology workshop was delivered to more than 35 Mayors from Alabama and around the world including Haiti and Nigeria.

The Harward family has been involved in the creation and implementation of governmental software for over 30 years. In 1981, Dennis and his father founded SunGard HTE Inc. (formerly HTE Inc.) and were quickly recognized as a leader in the governmental software industry. Under Dennis' guidance, the company grew from a start-up to more than 800 employees and $100 million in revenue. HTE Inc. was the first governmental software company to go public and it once set the standard for consolidation of the industry.  In 1999, Dennis recognized the need for a totally new direction in the technology used to build governmental software and (under his holding company - Harward Investments) Dennis assembled an elite team of software engineers to create the next generation of governmental ERP systems. In 2001, Innoprise Software was formed and began delivering the new technologies to Customers. 

Innoprise’s vision of an interactive web-based user experience for local government has proven to be a brilliant solution.  Innoprise has delivered a full enterprise suite and its systems are now successfully installed in more than 50 organizations across 15 states. Now based in Colorado, Innoprise has set a new standard for cost effective, platform independent systems that bring dramatic new functionality to government.
