RANCHO CORDOVA, California, March 9, 2005 – Hansen Information
Technologies (Hansen®) today announced that it was selected to provide
a comprehensive Government ERP solution for the City of Rancho Cordova,
California. In addition to deploying Microsoft Business Solutions (MBS)
Great Plains Financials for Government, Hansen will also provide its integrated
Assets, Building Permit, CAFR Reporting, Cashiering, Citizen Relationship
Management (CRM), GIS, Licensing, and Pavement Management solutions. The
new system will be hosted from Hansen's high-speed data center.
"A key reason for our selection was Hansen's ability to satisfy
all our requirements for an integrated financial and operational solution
using a single vendor," stated Bill Thomas, Chief Financial Officer,
City of Rancho Cordova. "As a new city that is staffed with people
having decades of experience in managing local government, we have the
unique opportunity to do everything right, from the start."
The City of Rancho Cordova was created in 2003 as a result of its annexation from Sacramento County. One of the first employees hired to help run the city was City Manager Ted Gaebler, co-author of the best selling books "Reinventing Government: How the Entrepreneurial Spirit Is Transforming the Public Sector" and "Positive Outcomes: Raising the Bar on Government Reinvention". "I've known Hansen for years and it's great to finally outfit a city with next-generation tools to better serve our constituents," stated Gaebler. "The City expects to triple its population within the next five years, due to a continued housing boom. Therefore, it's important to provide outstanding customer service during this time of unprecedented growth."
As part of the project, Hansen will implement Microsoft's Great Plains
Financials, including General Ledger, Human Resources, Payroll, Fund Accounting,
and Encumbrance Accounting. A key deliverable of the project will be Hansen's
GASB 34 Asset Accounting module. As part of its scope of work, Hansen
will conduct a comprehensive condition assessment of the City's roads
and will supply its beginning balances to make the City eligible to adopt
the Modified Approach for GASB 34, thus eliminating the need to recognize
depreciation expense.
"Hansen is becoming the industry standard in allowing agencies to
capitalize their fixed assets and discontinue depreciation," stated
Chuck Hansen, Hansen's CEO. "By establishing a detailed valuation
of your fixed assets and committing to quantifiable service levels for
those assets, government agencies can benefit from increasing the long
term value of their assets."
