Commonwealth of Kentucky to Deploy Web-Based ERP Solution



June 15, 2005 By

The Commonwealth of Kentucky selected AMS Advantage 3 for a statewide Enterprise Resource Planning solution to be deployed beginning in July 2006. The selection of the CGI-AMS Web- based solution will enhance the commonwealth's enterprise business processes and provide innovative technologies to manage the state's $21.4 billion annual budget and run its complex procurement processes, which each year encompass more than 3,000 online solicitations for goods and services, collects over $100 million in payments, including $16 million in credit card and e-check transactions, and initiates nearly 10 million payments.

The upgrade of Kentucky's Management Administrative Reporting System, or eMARS, is an important step in the commonwealth's implementation of an integrated financial management and procurement solution. When completed, eMARS will provide over 5,000 users Web-based access to a state-of-the-art, integrated information system to help further enterprise goals, including reducing duplicate data entry, providing online access to information, and enabling electronic workflow and approvals.

More than 190 state and local governments use AMS Advantage, said the company, including 21 states. Of these, 45 organizations have already committed to implementing the new Web-based AMS Advantage solution. The AMS Advantage suite, with embedded government best practices, is tailored to meet the unique administrative needs of state and local public sector entities and incorporates more than 30 years of government experience and knowledge in the public sector market. AMS Advantage is a flexible, module-based solution that automates document workflow, decreases paperwork and ultimately improves customer service and facilitates decision-making.
