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 The township, which has a population of over 30,000 residents, transitioned from an outdated AS/400 ERP system to AccuFund to enhance its financial management capabilities. The Finance Director, Andrew McCreery, identified the need for a modern system that could improve automation, document scanning, and report generation. Following the implementation, the township reported significant time savings in payroll processing and year-end accounting entries, reducing the number from over 500 to less than 100. The system's flexibility and user-friendly interface have been well received by the finance department and other municipal staff, allowing them to generate customized reports independently. The support from EMK, Inc. has also contributed to the successful integration of AccuFund, which has improved overall efficiency in financial operations.
