Freestone County weighs replacing NetData with county-focused cloud financial system
Summary
Commissioners heard a presentation from an evaluation team recommending a Texas-based, county-focused financial and records system (LGS/Financial Intelligence) to replace NetData. Staff discussed hosting costs, data-extraction fees, training, and a possible $5,000 general-ledger mapping fee.
A staff-led evaluation team recommended that Freestone County replace its aging NetData system with a Texas-based, county-focused cloud software suite (referred to in the package as LGS/Financial Intelligence), a presenter told the commissioners.
The presentation, delivered by Speaker 5, said the system would centralize payroll, treasurer, auditor and other departmental functions in a single hosted platform and would allow department heads and commissioners to view budgets and expenditures online. "It's cloud based software," Speaker 5 said when describing hosting and indexing features. The vendor also offers automated scanning that it says will index documents into the correct records folder.
