What functionality was implemented? Financials…
What functionality was implemented? Logistics…
Enhanced Functionality Added on SAP, 3rd party or custom integrations…
Vendor Invoice Management • AP in crisis management mode • Every invoice seemed like a rush invoice • Paper invoices in all departments, no centralization of receipt of invoices • Stacks of invoices on processors desks awaiting goods receipts • Needed to change the “we’ve always done it this way” culture • AP Manager attended conference in 2009, where the vision was born
AP Vision for Invoices • Centralize receipt of invoices • Scan and capture data and images of invoices • Workflow invoices to an approver • Create visibility to every step in the invoice process
Vision to reality • AP Manager began explaining vision to ERP • SAP standard functionality analyzed and analyzed and analyzed… • Asked AP Manager to explain what she wanted • WHITE BOARD IT! • Vision finally clear to the organization • Functionality not available in SAP…. • Needed a 3rd party system • Front end imaging • OCR – Optical Character Resolution • Workflow Approvals • Timely invoice payments
VIM Lessons Learned • Establish Success Indicators & check in on these throughout project • Invoices workflowed for approval • OCR to automate data entry • Invoices visible in SAP within 2 business days of receipt • Use Performance Measures – track them post go-live • Invoices scanned & validated within 2 business days • Invoices approved and goods receipted within 5 business days • Invoices indexed by AP within 5 business days • Follow a proven project implementation methodology • Best methodology is one that is tailored to your organization & culture • Plan for post go-live support • No project is perfect • Implementer that knows the product • Strong focus on end user buy in & training
Maturing of ERP & what to do next? • Lots of projects done over 2 years • New functionality • Business process changes • ERP system solid core with a flexible edge for 3rd party solutions • Then…two big changes impact things • County Manager retiring • IT efficiency consultant recommendation
Transforming Performance Management • Analyzed areas of Performance Measurement • Looked at • What did we do in the past? • What did we have to do? • What did we want to do?
Transforming Performance Management • Guiding principles for improvement • Do work that adds value to the organization • Only ask for data that will be used • Track the most important things • Make it easy to use & easy to understand
Journey to Performance Analytics • As is vs. To Be analysis DASHBOARDS • Data for performance measures comes from everywhere – SAP, Accela, NeoGov, Spreadsheets, etc. • Researched system agnostic tools • Needed centralized system to input performance data • Time spent entering gathering data needs to be worth the effort (output > input)
Journey to Performance Analytics • DASHBOARDS needed to be… • Easy to use • Graphical, interactive dashboards • Transparent To Be As Is
Transforming Performance Management What we are doing now The way we used to do it
Journey to Performance Analytics • Challenges with Departments • Beat up from prior administration & benchmarking • Told what to track • Benchmarks used as big stick (not always apples to apples) & made them reluctant to share data • Neglected – no one is asking or looking for this, so why bother?
Journey to Performance Analytics • Process improvement • Talk to your peers! • Talk to your departments • Researched lots of 3rd Party Performance Management systems • Business Intelligence in SAP • Expensive • Time-consuming to implement • Lacking functionality we were looking for • Built listing of functional requirements • Analyzed costs • Prepared RFP • Secured funding….
Journey to Performance Analytics • Cancelled RFP and project funding reverted • Continued to focus on process improvements • No point in building dashboards if data not good or not tracking meaningful measures • Went to Plan B: Gather & graph the data in Excel • Still wanted to greatly improve performance management process • Regular meetings to review with directors, deputy county managers • Not just a checkbox exercise • People are looking at this • It’s important • ICMA discontinued Performance Platform
Mid2016 Journey to Performance Analytics • Found OpenGov – July 2016 • How we got it approved? • Replacement for the ICMA Performance Platform • Cost effective • Didn’t need to seek large budget as we were just coming off the budget crisis • Didn’t need IT analysis – system replacement & offered functionality that couldn’t be built internally • Public sector specific functionality • Procurement – utilize GSA • Contract approved in Sept 2016
