Government Technology - April 2008 - (Page NW2)

Does your software solution use technology to allow you to Work the Way You Live? Public administration software solutions are vital tools local governments need to address their operational requirements; from managing financial and human resources operations to utility billing and online services for citizens. The right public administration solution should make your life easier while preparing your organization for both future challenges and opportunities. By utilizing existing technology and know-how from world leaders like Microsoft®, New World Systems offers flexible intuitive Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions that have a lower total cost of ownership, provide more services to their citizens, make their employees more efficient, and save you valuable time. Rather than adapting your behaviors to your public administration solution, your solution should be designed to your day-to-day life. By uncovering how people in local government organizations behave with their software and what applications they use on a daily basis, New World Systems creates powerful solutions that reduce many of the stresses involved in daily processes. How do you use your software? The philosophy for software vendors has always been to build a public administration application that gathers, manipulates, and delivers data in a manner pre-specified by software developers. But if you think about who uses this software within your local government organization, this philosophy is backwards. For example, some users are solely responsible for data entry, whereas managers may only interact with the system to run reports or approve purchase orders, invoices or hours entry. Other people may only need to enter the system to inquire about a single transaction. For many, the majority of their day is not spent working within the public administration application, but they still need to be able to retrieve information from the system at a moment’s notice. Your public administration software is where your organization’s information lives, therefore: • Reporting should be effortless through the use of familiar applications you use each day • Your public administration software should make employees more efficient with solutions that are tailored to the way they work • Your solutions should empower employees, vendors and citizens with anytime, anywhere access Where do you spend your time? Nearly everyone in local government uses common Microsoft applications every day, such as Microsoft Outlook®, Microsoft Excel® and Microsoft Word®. These are familiar and valuable tools that most local government employees utilize, sometimes more than their public administration software. Because New World Systems’ public administration solution is built on Microsoft technology, it provides a tightness of integration to these Microsoft applications that is unmatched by technology used by any other vendor. New World Systems’ Logos.NET® New World Systems is the only U.S.-based local government software provider to offer a public administration solution built entirely on the Microsoft.NET™ platform. By taking full advantage of Microsoft’s technology and existing infrastructure, New World’s focus and direction is to develop easy-to-use solutions that continue to evolve as local government needs grow. Leveraging modern technology as the very foundation of our solution, New World is able to concentrate on how local governments work, including the trends, details and challenges you face. This has led to New World’s adoption of an entirely new local government administration philosophy that is completely unique in the industry: Build on existing technology to develop solutions that work the way you do, saving your organization significant time and money.
