Specifications include, but are not limited to: n 2015, the Parish began efforts to re-evaluate how its human resource, financial, payroll and other data is managed across the organization. Currently, the Parish employs approximately 700 individuals in a wide range of positions performing a multitude of occupations, including Public Works, Economic Development, Health and Human Services, Public Safety, Tammany Utilities, Facilities, Development, Engineering and Environmental Services and management and administrative services. This project focuses on the administrative functions affecting the staff in all Parish occupations. The Parish currently uses Harris GEMs to support many of its financial, payroll and human resources activities. Modules used include general ledger, accounts payable (AP), accounts receivable (AR), budget preparation, human resources, payroll, purchasing, fixed assets, and work orders. In addition to the GEMs modules, the Parish utilizes a number of third party and custom developed systems. For example, the Parish uses inHANCE to support utility billing. The Parish still relies on and is developing several custom Access databases to provide the data mining functionality needed by departments, not found in GEMS. More significantly, the Parish relies on numerous more manual, non-integrated systems, such as paper forms, Excel spreadsheets, and eMail to manage the Parish’s administrative transactions. The Parish is in the process of implementing an ERP software package: Tyler Technologies.
