Infor PM for Local, State and Federal Government Agencies

In the public sector, the pressure to be accountable and transparent comes from all angles. The amount of discretionary budget dollars decreases each year as interest on the debt, Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security take up an increased percentage of budgets. Simply put, the cost of a failed program is too high. With new initiatives like the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, it is critical that governments find new techniques for managing and monitoring taxpayer dollars.

With Infor PM, you get a fresh perspective and a real solution to managing funds at all levels of government, even the ability to share data in the same system on an inter-governmental basis.
