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.”
