Mitchell Humphrey Introduces the FMS-ePro Automated Procurement Solution

New System Provides Host of Purchasing Related Functions 

St. Louis, Missouri (November 1, 2008) Mitchell Humphrey is pleased to introduce FMS-ePro; a web-based solution featuring supplier registration, online bidding, contract management, hosted contract catalogues, reverse auction, and the ability to shop a supplier’s eCommerce web site via “punch-out.”  The software applications can be deployed as an on-demand hosted service (SaaS) or installed locally. 

“FMS-ePro is a key component to our overall strategy for clients’ procurement automation,” said Kim Schaefer, President and COO of Mitchell Humphrey, “Our customers rely on our solutions to help maximize their investment in technology.  With FMS-ePro, they are able to work more efficiently by automating the bid process and making negotiated contracts easier to shop.”

The FMS-ePro eSourcing module is utilized to create, issue, evaluate, and award bid opportunities online.  Purchasing agents interact with the application to build their bid events including the establishment of terms and conditions and outlining requirements and specifications.  Registered suppliers receive e-mail notification of bid opportunities.  Suppliers log in and interact with the system to build  and submit their electronic bid responses.  Purchasing agents automatically receive bid responses and use the application’s variety of tabulation reports to evaluate and determine the bid award(s).  As an alternative, suppliers can simply access, download, and print bid documents for the purpose of responding in a traditional format.

The FMS-ePro eProcurement Shopping and Order module provides a web-based solution to shop negotiated contracts via an internet web browser.  Contracts are presented in an easy-t0-navigate eCommerce shopping catalogue.  Users interact with the system to view item specifications and images, vendor information, and to create shopping carts of desired items.  Orders can be routed for approval and even integrated into Mitchell Humphrey’s FMS II accounting system for purchase order creation.

Douglas County Selects FMS II and Saves Significant Time and Effort

“From the initial project kick-off meeting to go-live, the entire implementation and training process was excellent.  Mitchell Humphrey’s people really do make a difference.  It’s obvious that they truly care about the client and work very hard to help them succeed.” - Karen Goodwin, Chief Accountant

Douglas County, Washington was established in 1883 and named after U.S. Senator Steven Douglas.  Located near the geographic center of the state, the County has a population of just over 37,000 with its administrative offices located in the city of Waterville.

When Hewlett-Packard announced its plans to cease support of its long-standing HP3000 hardware platform, the County faced some major decisions.  It had to upgrade or replace all of its mission-critical HP3000-based software applications.

One of the most significant systems to be replaced or upgraded was the County’s Financial Management application.  The decision between upgrading their current system or replacing it with a new solution was made easy once the County was able to see a demo from their existing vendor’s Windows-based product.

“There was really nothing new in the application, and it also had not been implemented anywhere else,” explained Karen Goodwin, the Chief Accountant for Douglas County, “Plus, the new version did not address a number of long-standing issues we had including frequent W2 forms problems, no report writer functionality, and an extremely limited ability to modify account numbers as our processes changed.”

In 2005, the County finance department staff embarked on a significant research project on viable replacement solution options.  Their efforts included information-gathering visits to events, viewing
web-based presentations from potential vendors, and even some site visits to potential vendors’ existing client locations.

“We had an excellent visit with the folks at the City of Spokane, a long-time user of Mitchell Humphrey’s FMS II software.  They really had great things to say both about the system and the company,” Karen said.

In March of 2006, their research complete, the County issued an official Request for Proposal to  seven solution providers including Mitchell Humphrey.  The selected vendors were chosen based on the fact that they each had government entities among their client base.

In June of 2006, after a thorough review of all responses, the County selected a package of Mitchell Humphrey’s FMS II General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Fixed Assets, and Purchasing modules and a full suite of FMS II Reporting Tools on the Windows platform.

“The Spokane visit was a major influence.  Also, it was critical that we chose a system that could be easily tailored to accommodate our existing business processes,” stated Phil Young, Senior Accountant for the County,  “It was clear to us that FMS II would be, by far, the best solution to meet this goal.”

In November of 2006, Douglas County went live on its new FMS II system.  Integration was established with the County’s systems for
taxes & assessments, public works/roads project management, and human resources/payroll.

“From the initial project kick-off meeting to go-live, the entire implementation and training process was excellent,” Karen stated, “Mitchell Humphrey’s people really do make a difference.  It’s obvious that they truly care about the client and work very hard to help them succeed.”

Since they have implemented FMS II, the County has increased productivity and efficiency in a number of key areas.  One major area of improvement is in the ability to format and produce the many monthly reports the County Auditor is required by law to provide to the Board of Douglas County Commissioners.

“With our old system, these reports were a major source of frustration.  It would take an entire day to complete them.  With FMS II, we are able to complete the entire process in less than 10 minutes,” Phil explained.

The elimination of manual entry for certain processes has also proven to be a huge benefit for the County as Phil continued.

“In order to pay jurors in our old system, we had to manually enter a mountain of data for each of them on a one-by-one basis into the Accounts Payable module.  With FMS II’s automatic upload tools, we can now basically upload all of the same information where it needs to go with the click of a button.”

“Our team has worked with many companies over the year, and I can say that without question, the Mitchell Humphrey team has done the best job for us,” Karen concluded.

The FMS-ePro Contract Catalogue is a web-based electronic catalogue solution that allows organizations to enable their contracts for on-line shopping, ordering, and demand aggregation, promoting contract compliance while providing simplified management and reporting.  The application can be acquired as a suite or on a per module basis. 

FMS-ePro Contract Catalogue modules include the following:

• Contract Shopping - provides on-line browsing and searching of contracted items in a familiar eCommerce environment. Includes on-line creation and management of contracts (contract item details, contract eligibility dates, and contract security). 
• Orders - provides shoppers with the ability to check out from the Contract Shopping module, creating an electronic order for web-based approval routing.  Includes ability to set up multiple levels of approval, with electronic notifications and a complete audit trail of approval activity.
• Punch-Out Shopping (Supplier Catalogue Integration) - enables your organization to shop a supplier’s eCommerce catalog, build a shopping cart of desired items, and check out.  Order is then sent through the system for processing and approvals.
• Demand Polling - provides electronic aggregation of demand from end users to facilitate a strategic sourcing event.  Includes abilities to create demand polling events, and to send purchasing opportunity specifications to end users, allowing them to enter their desired quantities.

The FMS-ePro Sourcing solution provides purchasing departments savings in the processes of creating, issuing, and awarding bids.   The solution includes support for supplier registration and notification, sealed bidding, informal quotes, and reverse auctions.  The application can be acquired as a suite or on a per module basis. 

FMS-ePro Sourcing modules include the following.

• Supplier Registration and Management - provides functionality for suppliers to register on-line and receive email notification to bid on opportunities.  Also includes functionality to notify specific supplier groups, manage diversity classifications, track supplier performance, and maintain internal notes.
• Bidding (RFx) - provides the ability to create and issue on-line sourcing opportunities.  Event types are configurable to support informal quotations, formal sealed bids, and requests for proposal including customer-defined types such as RFP, RFQ, RFI, etc.
• Reverse Auction - provides a dynamic pricing environment where suppliers compete for business in a real-time mode.  Includes tools to support a variety of sourcing strategies including auction preview, reserve pricing, bid increment rules, and automatic auction extension.
• Contract Management - provides the tools to streamline the management of contract documents and activities.  Includes the ability to store contract details (term, documents, contacts, etc.), set up automated email notifications for each contract, and a full suite of reports.

Jackson County Goes Live on FMS II On Time and Under Budget

“Mitchell Humphrey has exceeded our expectations and I would not hesitate recommending them to others.” - Scott Jacoby, Deputy Finance Director

Jackson County, which includes the Kansas City Metropolitan area, is the second largest in the state of Missouri with a population of 654,000.  Scott Jacoby, Deputy Director of Finance, explained why the County chose to replace its previous system. 

“The real catalyst in our decision was the vendor’s decision not to support our older version of their system after December 2005.  In actuality, that was okay with our users because the system had some major inefficiencies including the inability to upload and download data resulting in frequent re-keying efforts, and it offered very few controls over the data entry process.”

Once the decision to acquire a new system was made, the County formed a Leadership Group featuring key representatives from a variety of departments.  The Leadership Group chose to evaluate several financial management solution providers while considering an option to migrate to a newer version of their previous vendor’s solution.

“Mitchell Humphrey made an immediate and powerful impression not only with the functionality of their software, but also in the way they approached the opportunity.  The relationship felt like a true business partnership from the beginning,” Scott stated.

The County’s decison to go with Mitchell Humphrey was made easier following a trip to Birmingham, Alabama and Sarasota, Florida to visit two current FMS II users.  Selected were Mitchell Humphrey’s FMS II General Ledger, Position Budgeting, Cashiering, Project Accounting, Accounts Payable, Purchasing, and Fixed Assets solutions.  In addition, the County opted for a number of Mitchell Humphrey’s reporting, productivity management, and business intelligence tools.

Phase one of the project commenced in September 2005 with the first go-live date for the General Ledger, Accounts Payable, and Purchasing modules set for early January 2006.  On January 3, 2006, six days early and under budget, the County went live on all three modules.

“We were on a very fast track and even with a decision late in the process to combine the Circuit Court’s existing FMS II system with ours, Mitchell Humphrey and our project team were able to beat both the time and cost targets,” Scott explained. “This is a huge accomplishment considering the horror stories out there regarding government entities efforts to implement new software systems.”

“Mitchell Humphrey has exceeded our expectations and I would not hesitate recommending them to others.” Scott concluded.

St. Louis, Missouri (December 20, 2007) Mitchell Humphrey, a long-time specialist in financial accounting software and related services, is pleased to announce that the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority (MCCA) is fully operational on its FMS II accounting software system.

“With FMS II, we have been able to reduce our transaction processing effort by more than 25%.  As a result, we are able to obtain and analyze better information in a much quicker, more efficient manner,” said MCCA Chief Financial Officer Johanna Storella.  “In addition, we feel the system offers the MCCA a critical advantage versus other accounting systems because of its open database structure, its service-oriented approach, and the fact that it caters to the requirements of government enterprises like ourselves.”

“A recent survey conducted by Financial Executives International indicated that the average company’s finance department spends about 67% of its time in transaction processing,” explained Mitchell Humphrey’s President and COO Kim Schaefer, “One of our main missions for clients like MCCA is to implement a solution that enables them to reduce processing times and increase the time they have to seriously analyze and act on their financial data.”

MCCA selected Mitchell Humphrey’s FMS II General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Fixed Assets, and Purchasing modules.  In addition, the organization implemented a special FMS II Event Ledger that enables them to track and report on the economic impact of events held at MCCA facilities.
