Replacing a Municipal ERP
A municipal government replaces a legacy ERP covering finance, HR, and permitting while preserving governed access to historical permits, financial records, and public records.
Talk to a Solution ArchitectBusiness Challenge
The Problem Before Modernization
A municipal government has run the same enterprise resource planning system for finance, HR, and permitting for many years. The vendor has announced the end of support, and maintenance costs continue climbing.
Departments still need historical permits, financial records, employee information, and public records for years to come. The city plans to move to a modern ERP but cannot lose access to the information locked inside the legacy platform.
Typical Environment
What The Organization Looks Like
A legacy ERP covering finance, HR, permitting, and records.
Departments relying on historical access include Finance, City Clerk, Planning & Zoning, Public Works, Human Resources, and IT. Current applications include the new ERP, a citizen portal, reporting tools, and department systems.
