When we used Excel, all of the same information was available, but it took months for us to condense and provide the various departments with updated reporting and information to the budget. With Citywide Budgeting, this same information is much more easily accessible at an earlier time, which allows departments to better plan and maintain their operations within budget.
PSD did a wonderful job in helping us implement the Citywide Budgeting software in 2018. We were able to take our budgeting process out of excel and into the Citywide Budgeting (FMW) software, which streamlined our processes and cut down on data entry and duplication. Our consultant Tracy Leonard was professional and very knowledgeable. Thanks to her and the rest of the PSD group we were able to achieve our implementation on time and budget and we look forward to continue working with them in the future as we continuously work to modernize our finance systems.
