Jennifer, Metro just went through a procurement process to purchase budget software and is currently in the process of implementing it. We selected a product called "Team Budget" from Questica. The software allows you to create both operating and capital budgets and gives the flexibility of allowing you to create multiple iterations of a budget, use workflow approval, provide for creation of 'what if' and project scenarios, apply global budget assumptions, and it has good budget to actual reporting tools. Questica also focuses on government and education. Our plan is to create and approve the budget in Team Budget, load the budget into our ERP and event management systems, expend from those locations, and interface back to Team Budget to review and manage the budget. We're starting with reporting first, to give people time to adjust to the software before creating next year's budget. If you're interested, I'd be happy to hook you up with our project manager on the project or provide you with some information on the product.
