County officials, representing each department, spent nine months researching the functionality required in a new system and vendor. After an extensive request for proposal, various software demonstrations and customer reference checks, the County chose New World. "New World's .Net technology was one of the key reasons we chose the Company," said Assistant County Manager Jesse Smith, Garfield County, Colo. "This is a major purchase for any County, and we do not want to go through this again in the next few years due to out of date technology. With New World's Logos.NET solution, we feel confident that we will have this software for many years." For the first time, the County will have a fully integrated system to allow seamless communication between departments. "New World's integrated Logos.NET will reduce redundant data entry and manual labor, as well as increase data accuracy," said Smith. "Currently, accounts payables are entered into the County's system and then re-entered into the State's human services system under a different chart of accounts, but New World's software will eliminate this step so we will only have to enter payables once. Using Logos.NET, our data will be automatically entered into the County's chart of accounts. "This one step process will also affect our payroll process, which is currently handled through ADP and then the data is entered into the County's system via extensive journal entries," said Smith. "We will save a lot of time." To ensure integration and to provide superior customer support, New World develops its entire suite in-house. As a Microsoft Certified Partner, New World has committed the development resources required to build and deploy robust solutions designed for all sizes of government agencies. Logos.NET was developed using proven Microsoft .Net technology, industry standard Windows 2000 Server and SQL Server 2000 database. From customizable screens to full suite integration, it will provide government officials fast and easy access to information. "We are energized about implementing New World's Logos.NET," said Smith. "From streamlining processes to automating tasks, this browser-based solution is going enhance internal productivity and services to our constituents." Garfield County provides services to approximately 48,000 citizens and supports a workforce of 400. New World and the County will begin implementation immediately.
