Knox City Council re-evaluates its software
options & re-selects AXS-One
SYDNEY, NSW – 6 August 2003. AXS-One, a leading
provider of e-Business solutions today announced the successful
implementation of version 7 of the AXS-OneÒ Enterprise Financial
solution at Knox City Council. This follows a total re-evaluation of
Council's requirements and the options available to them.
Knox City Council had been an AXS-One Enterprise Financials
client for a number of years. Due to changing Council needs, rapid
technology changes and the desire to provide greater and more
efficient services Knox elected to go to market to ensure that their
requirements were being met with the best possible solution.
“We decided to assess all of the options that were available to
us. So we put our systems including financial management out to
tender. Once again, AXS-One came out on top. They're our chosen
partner for the future,” said Helen Lanyon, director finance &
governance, Knox City Council.
In late 2002, after a reappraisal of the market, a thorough
evaluation and due diligence Knox City Council selected to go
forward with AXS-One. The decision was driven by the key factors of
company stability, customer relationship, product functionality and
direction.
The implementation consisted of an upgrade to version 7, a change
of platform from Sun Unix/Flat files to Windows 2000/SQL Server, a
re-structure of the general ledger as well as implementing two new
business process automation solutions; Expense Cycle Management
(ECM) and Procurement Cycle Management (PCM). This whole process met
the promised deadline going live in July, in less than 90 days.
“Having gone live on the stated date, we are very pleased that
AXS-One has again lived up to their “on-time implementation”
reputation. It has all gone smoothly with the added benefits of ECM
and PCM already being realised,” added Ms Lanyon.
Commenting on the Knox decision Mr David Thompson, Vice
President, Asia Pacific, AXS-One said, “Knox City Council is a
valued client and the decision to move forward with AXS-One
reinforces our strength and commitment to the local government
market.”
