City of Redmond Replaces End-of-Life Systems to Update Technology Platform

Overview

Redmond, a suburb of Seattle with a population of 49,000, prides itself for its high quality of life with good schools, a healthy economic base, a parks system that provides a variety of active and passive recreational opportunities, diverse offerings for shopping and dining, safe neighborhoods, and an emphasis on quality development and protection of the natural environment. The company wanted to replace a de-supported IT platform that could not incorporate new capabilities to support the city's evolving business-process needs. The challenge was to improve and extend capabilities of human resources management system and effectively manage the increasing complexity of data security standards and reporting requirements. The company completed a phased implementation of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne applications for financial management, human resources and payroll.
