Technology Assessment Case Study: Public Sector

The city had been using a decades-old ERP solution and had not evaluated their business processes at any point during that time. Not only was the current ERP system not the best fit for their municipality, but the city was spending an inordinate amount of money on maintenance costs for customization and did not take advantage of instituting best practices or current technology.
The city requested our assistance in evaluating its existing capabilities. This evaluation involved reviewing the city’s operations in the areas of constituent outreach, utilities, fire department and public works.
As part of this evaluation, we assessed a full list of systems from the city’s IT staff to determine which systems should be migrated into a centralized ERP system and which systems should continue to stand alone as a best of breed.
This IT strategy aligned with current and future requirements, which we gleaned from executive strategy documentation and onsite workshops. We ensured our recommendations enabled the city to simplify business processes, migrate data into one integrated system and achieve its strategic goals.
"WE HELD ONSITE INTERVIEWS WITH VARIOUS CITY EMPLOYEES SO WE COULD UNDERSTAND EMPLOYEES’ BUSINESS PROCESSES AND THE ‘WHY’ BEHIND EACH PROCESS. WE ENSURED THE INCLUSION OF ALL NECESSARY PARTICIPANTS IN ORDER TO GET A COMPREHENSIVE VIEW OF ALL SCOPED AREAS"

Panorama expects the full implementation of the new ERP system to result in the following benefits:
Our organizational change management efforts involved educating stakeholders and users on the broad range of capabilities offered by the new system. We emphasized how these capabilities would allow them to operate more efficiently in a system that fit their needs. Doing this work upfront saved the city money during implementation.
