The current software <br />package has been used by the County for over 20 years and is severely limited in its ability to <br />manage data. The County's need for practical management information has far surpassed the <br />capability of the software. <br />The consultant worked extensively with Department Heads and staff who use the system on a <br />day to day basis to identify system shortfalls and prioritize necessary components within a new <br />system. The attached needs assessment identifies five specific areas in which deficiencies are <br />noted: <br />1. Lack of system integration . <br />2. Antiquated technology <br />3. Missing functionality <br />4. Insufficient reporting capabilities <br />5. Batch processing <br />A synopsis of the associated issues is provided below, however, a detailed analysis is included <br />in the attached Needs Assessment (Attachment #1, under separate cover). <br />
