Tustin converted to new Financial software in 1999. We are still working some bugs out but generally speaking I think we are doing okay. The thing that I'm most concerned with and the reason I'm seeking your input is the amount of IT staff time it is taking to keep everything running, especially the payroll module. We do not have a large IT staff, 1� people for the whole City, so I'm paying very good $ to consultants to keep us up and running, write reports, etc. IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE. It is making me nuts. Please help me to come to grips with this. Is this the way it is for all of you? Is this just something that I'm going to have to learn to live with and I need to move on? If this is the case do you have dedicated staff, Finance people or IT, what are they called and what do they get paid? I appreciate any help/suggestions/counseling/ strategies you may care to share. Thank you. Ron
