LSI Consulting Announces GovOne™, SAP® ERP Solutions for Local Government at GFOA's Annual Conference

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, May 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- LSI Consulting, Inc., a leader in software-based business transformation for Public Sector organizations, today announced it has formally released GovOne™, to offer clients an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software solution built by public sector industry professionals using industry standard best practices and processes.  LSI has supported the implementations for dozens of public sector, higher education and not-for-profit organizations and was selected by SAP® to be a Value-Added Reseller of their State and local government solutions.  GovOne™ leverages SAP® for Public Sector business application software and provides system options, controls and functionality for fund accounting, budgeting, asset accounting, grant and project accounting, procurement and financial reporting.  LSI's GovOne™ solution will be previewed at the Government Finance Officers' Association Annual Conference being held May 22-25, 2011 in San Antonio, Texas.

As a trusted public sector consultancy and implementation firm, LSI recognized the need for sophisticated technology in local government. But with serious fiscal pressures, municipalities need assistance in accelerating the time to obtain business value from their budgeting and financial management systems' investment. The new solution was developed using the lessons learned from multiple on-time, on-budget ERP implementations performed by LSI Consulting with new, flexible deployment options that don't sacrifice quality or constituent-service.

Travis County, Texas, recently selected LSI, featuring GovOne™ and SAP® after an exhaustive evaluation. "What we really like about LSI is that many of the people on their teams have worked in government, have generated CAFR statements and run government payrolls and understand what it's like 'to be us' on the customer side," said Susan Spataro, Travis County Auditor.  

Designed to maximize the rich functionality and exceptional scalability of the SAP® for Public Sector Solutions, LSI's GovOne™ is a template-based accelerated solution that enhances reliability, flexibility and return on investment.  Midsize municipalities, counties and State agencies can now streamline operations with efficiencies that were formerly the domain of larger public sector organizations.  The result is a portfolio of pre-packaged solutions for government that includes: financial and asset management, funds management and budget execution, grants management, procurement, GASB 34 and CAFR Reporting and business intelligence to measure program performance. The proven solution enables repeatable success and reduces time-intensive decision making out of the implementation process.

"Due to our long history of providing SAP solutions to public sector organizations, we are in a unique position to identify the best practices for implementation across an organization's core business processes," said Shyam Jajodia, director of Government Solutions at LSI Consulting. "The packaged solution is designed to address the base set of essential functionality needed by municipalities enabling them to realize value from their technology investment with a less time-consuming and less costly ERP implementation project."
