City of Oakwood's Experience with VIP

As we move to a paperless environment, the system has assisted in that process. Ease of use has allowed many non finance users to run reports and find the information they need to do their job.

PROS

The ability to drill down into the detail and move seamlessly through the system is key to what we were looking for when we selected Software Solutions VIP. Ease of use and consistency between the various modules make the software intuititive.

CONS

Integration of the software into our processes was not difficult. We would still like to see improvement in some of the data entry functions (ie. accounts payable.)

Reason for choosing Visual Intelligence Portfolio Suite

In 2009, much of VIP had not even been written when we were looking to upgrade our software. We had the opportunity to see the vision Software Solutions had in mind with VIP. The City of Oakwood took the chance and we have not looked back.

Reasons for switching to Visual Intelligence Portfolio Suite

Our system in 2008 was very antiquated and difficult to use.

Vendor Response

Thank you for the kind review! We always try to provide the best quality products and services to our customers, and we're happy for any feedback.

VIP is a great investment

I have been able to acclimate myself pretty well even without going through the proper training process—tech support has been patient with me and very helpful. It’s reassuring when I have an audit, if I need help finding an answer, SSI support will more than likely be able to help me find the solution.

PROS

Very user friendly, education options are very useful, and the tech support is great!

CONS

If we don’t pay for a certain aspect of VIP, ie, Utility Billing, I think it should be grayed out so we can’t use it; would eliminate opening something that serves no purpose.

Reasons for switching to Visual Intelligence Portfolio Suite

My predecessor made the switch. I used CMI in the late 90s early 00s. SSI is much friendlier, the options for reports is extensive, and the process of completing tasks is logical and easy to understand.

Vendor Response

Thank you for the feedback! We're so glad we have helped and will continue to support you. Thanks for the ideas; we'll take them to our development team.

PROS

VIP is Customizable Flexible example mygrids

CONS

VIP is not real intuitive or user friendly. Screen shots are great but videos on support sight would be helpful also.

Vendor Response

Thank you for your feedback! We are actually working on adding videos to all of our support articles, because we know that will be helpful for all of our customers.

VIP NEW CUSTOMER

It was intimidating at first. After the classroom, training, and gaining access to the Sandbox, I’m more at ease. I think it will be great.

PROS

It has many functions and reports that will be useful that we didn’t have before. I think it will make utility billing go smoother.

CONS

We are still getting the hang of things. We’ve been playing in sandbox and taking classes. I don’t dislike anything yet.

Reasons for switching to Visual Intelligence Portfolio Suite

To get up to date on our software and practices.

Vendor Response

Glad to hear about your experience! We make sure to set up our customers for success, and the training process is a huge part of that.

VIP-Paperless Workflows - Great Customer Service - Easy to Use

VIP is positive overall! VIP solves the transparency issues that the Township had with its internal departments. We are able to train new staff pretty quickly due to its user-friendly environment. The ability to remove the cumbersome task of processing everything on paper makes VIP so wonderful. The township no longer has to pass paper purchase orders to be manually signed, manage paper invoices, file paper invoices, store paper invoices in boxes for the retention period required. It saves us so much time!

PROS

Love the workflows, paperless environments, ability for all departments to be able to run reports and or review grids to get information they need. The workflows provide internal controls in the purchasing process that are seamless after they are set up.We have had great results in training new staff on VIP in the area of creating requisitions and paying invoices. Our auditors didn't have to come on-site for our most recent audit as they were able to access so much of our information using VIP!We can import payroll from our timekeeping software.Customer service is AMAZING!

CONS

Would love to see more development in the reports area. The grids are great for reports but sometimes I need more information than what is provided and need to run a couple of reports to combine information for what we need. An all-inclusive reporting, budgeting, forecasting package would be a helpful addition.

Reason for choosing Visual Intelligence Portfolio Suite

The Township heard about VIP software from Greene County and followed their recommendation.

Reasons for switching to Visual Intelligence Portfolio Suite

The township switched accounting software so that all departments could have access to their financial information. The township was also focused on improving internal controls and VIP's workflow helped in achieving this goal.

Vendor Response

Thank you for the feedback! We love hearing about our customers' needs and send all feedback to the development teams for review. Glad we're able to help the township out!
