Fenton approves final-year renewal for accounting software as migration to new vendor moves forward
Summary
The board approved a renewal of the city's accounting software licensing for one final year while staff continues a planned migration to a new vendor (BSNA). Staff said the migration will require a multi-month implementation and that the renewal covers licensing during the transition.
Fenton aldermen voted Oct. 2 to approve the city's standard annual renewal for its accounting software for a final year while staff works with a new vendor, identified in the meeting as BSNA, for a planned migration.
Staff told the committee the renewal is necessary to maintain operations during the transition; a vendor representative said migrations typically take about nine months and that a project manager would be assigned in several weeks. Staff said the new vendor has previously migrated customers from the city's incumbent system (referred to in the packet as Panimation) and that the migration timeline makes the one-year renewal necessary.
The board approved the renewal by voice vote.
