In today's local government landscape, ERP systems play a pivotal role in enhancing operational efficiency and decision making.
Many municipalities throughout the country are still using antiquated, legacy systems that have reached their end of life and vendor support is dwindling. These systems are not been kept up-to-date or enhanced with the latest features. Staff are resorting to manual workarounds to accomplish their daily responsibilities.
