The Indiana landscape

92 counties, one State Board of Accounts.

Indiana's local governments all report through the State Board of Accounts and its Gateway portal, under constitutional property tax caps. That's exactly the environment senior, vendor-neutral ERP leadership is built for.

Why Indiana is different

Indiana doesn't run ERP like anywhere else.

A platform that works elsewhere still has to satisfy Indiana's rules — the State Board of Accounts and Gateway reporting, the constitutional property tax caps, and INPRS reporting. We build for them from day one because we've closed the books under them.

The property tax caps constrain the levy

Indiana's constitution caps property tax at 1%, 2%, and 3% of assessed value by property type, and the resulting circuit-breaker credits cut into levies. An ERP that can't model the caps puts the budget on a fragile workbook.

The State Board of Accounts prescribes the books

Indiana's SBOA prescribes accounting and audits every unit, with results published. If the fund structure doesn't match SBOA's requirements, reporting becomes a findings risk.

Gateway is how you report

Indiana local governments submit budgets and annual financial reports through the Gateway portal. An ERP whose output doesn't map to Gateway turns submission into manual re-entry.

INPRS shapes payroll

Indiana payroll runs on INPRS — PERF, TRF, and the '77 Fund for police and fire, each with its own reporting. Configured wrong, payroll and pension break at the first cycle.

What we do for Indiana governments

The full ERP journey, led by people who've done the work.

Whether you're choosing a platform, leading a full ERP implementation, rescuing one that's slipping, or keeping a live system healthy with managed services and support, the same senior operators lead the engagement end to end — vendor-neutral, embedded with your team, and accountable to Indiana's reporting.

01

ERP selection & RFP advisory

Vendor-neutral selection that turns how your Indiana jurisdiction actually runs into a defensible platform choice — with an RFP that survives procurement review and a TCO your board can stand behind.

  • Requirements built around state reporting
  • RFPs aligned to state procurement law
  • 7–10 year total cost of ownership modeling
02

Implementation leadership

Senior program leadership for new finance, HCM, utility billing, and EAM deployments — on-time go-lives with the state's reporting configured from the start, not retrofitted after audit findings.

  • Chart of accounts mapped to state filings
  • Payroll built for the state retirement system
  • Engineered go-lives, scope held
03

Recovery & stabilization

The call Indiana finance directors make when an implementation is slipping, close won't reconcile, or a new firm just left the project half-built. We stabilize the system and finish the work.

  • Stalled go-lives put back on a timeline
  • Reconciliation and close-cycle repair
  • Reporting back in compliance
04

Managed services & support

Ongoing, senior-led support that keeps a live ERP healthy through fiscal year-end and staff turnover — without the dependency model that keeps you paying for problems you didn't create.

  • Month-end and year-end close support
  • Enhancement, patching, and upgrade paths
  • Knowledge transfer, so you're never trapped
Built for Indiana reporting

The compliance details a national vendor misses.

These are the requirements that decide whether your Indiana ERP is a clean system of record or a source of annual pain. We design for each one before go-live — not in a corrective action plan afterward.

  1. 01

    State Board of Accounts reporting

    Fund and account structure mapped to SBOA requirements so annual reporting satisfies the audit without manual reconstruction.

  2. 02

    Property tax caps & circuit breaker

    Cap and circuit-breaker calculations supported in the budget module so the levy and its credits are defensible.

  3. 03

    Gateway submission

    Budgets and annual financial reports mapped so submission through the Gateway portal is a report, not a re-entry.

  4. 04

    INPRS reporting

    Contributions and reporting to PERF, TRF, and the '77 Fund configured in HCM so payroll and pension reconcile every cycle.

  5. 05

    Procurement & competitive bidding

    Indiana public purchasing and public works bidding thresholds kept compliant through selection and contract.

  6. 06

    Utility billing & special districts

    Water, sewer, and utility billing configured so exceptions and rebills stay the exception.

Outcomes

  • The books are clean before the audit

FAQ

Government ERP in Indiana, answered.

+Do you work with Indiana governments even though your case studies are in other states?
Yes. Our published case studies are in California and Texas, but public-sector ERP is a national discipline and the operating model is identical — senior operators, vendor-neutral, embedded with your team. What changes in Indiana is the reporting layer: the State Board of Accounts and Gateway, the property tax caps, and INPRS payroll, and that's exactly what we build for.
+Which ERP platforms do you support for Indiana agencies?
We're hands-on with every major public-sector ERP platform and strictly vendor-neutral — no reseller, referral, or partnership with any vendor. We tell you which platform genuinely fits your jurisdiction's size, reporting, and procurement path.
+Can you make our ERP satisfy the State Board of Accounts and Gateway?
Yes — it's one of the first things we design for. We map your fund structure to SBOA requirements so the audit is clean, and we map budgets and annual reports so Gateway submission comes out of the system.
+Does your work stay within Indiana procurement rules?
Yes. We scope selections and RFPs to hold up under Indiana public purchasing and public works bidding. We're not the vendor, so our advice on the buy is genuinely independent.
+We're mid-implementation and it's slipping. Can you step in?
That's one of the most common ways Indiana finance directors first call us. We join a live project, stabilize the go-live, repair close and reconciliation, and get reporting back in compliance — whether the original firm is still on the project or already gone.
