Mt. Lebanon Township Technology Upgrade Case Study

This case study details the technology upgrade undertaken by the municipality of Mt. Lebanon, Pennsylvania, focusing on the implementation of the AccuFund Accounting Suite. The township, which has over 30,000 residents, transitioned from an outdated ERP system to AccuFund to enhance its financial management capabilities. The Finance Director, Andrew McCreery, identified the need for a more efficient system that could automate processes, generate customized reports, and support various departments. The implementation involved eight primary users and a total of 40 users across the township. The transition has resulted in significant time savings, reducing payroll data entry time and year-end accounting entries from over 500 to less than 100. The system's flexibility and user-friendly interface have improved day-to-day operations, allowing users to access information and create reports independently. Overall, the upgrade has modernized the finance department's operations, demonstrating the effectiveness of AccuFund in meeting the township's needs.
