OUR WORK AT A GLANCE: ASPEN, CO

ABOUT THE CLIENT

Aspen is the most populous municipality of Pitkin County, Colorado and serves as the County Seat. The city encompasses a remote area of the Rocky Mountains’ Sawatch Range and Elk Mountains, along the Roaring Fork River at an elevation just below 8,000 feet on the Western Slope, 11 miles west of the Continental Divide. Aspen is now a part of the Glenwood Springs, CO Micropolitan Statistical Area and is home to over 7,000 residents.

PROJECT REQUEST

Implementation of the full Oracle Cloud SaaS solution including the Financials Cloud, Project Portfolio Cloud, Procurement Cloud, Project Portfolio Cloud, HCM Cloud, Planning and Budgeting Cloud, Taleo Cloud, and third-party software.

SOLUTIONS & IMPROVED OUTCOMES 

The project went live in January 2017 and was the first successful Oracle SaaS implementation to include Payroll for a City/County in the U.S. This deployment allowed the City to fully automate their Open Enrollment for the first time.

  • Eliminated stand-alone systems with an integrated SaaS solution
  • Improved outdated technology
  • Deployed industry “best practices” and processes
  • Increased e-Government capabilities
