Case Study: City of Seattle achieves 3,000 hours in annual analyst savings with Nicus Software

City of Seattle saves 3,000 analyst hours a year with Nicus

The City of Seattle's Central IT division faced significant inefficiencies by managing its IT planning process across 29 departments using complex, interlinked Excel spreadsheets. This method caused time-consuming budget adjustments, difficult data gathering, and prevented rapid, informed decision-making. To address these challenges following a major consolidation initiative, the city sought a partner and selected Nicus Software for its IT financial management solution.

Nicus Software implemented a solution that automated reporting and streamlined budgeting for the newly consolidated IT organization. As a result, the City of Seattle empowered its consolidation project, reduced the time for budget changes from weeks to a single day, and saved over 3,000 hours of analyst time annually. Nicus provided the means to knowledgeably manage the city's technology stack and achieve true cost transparency.
