I have enjoyed the program. I am working on trusting myself instead of second guessing myself with the program. The program has reduced the time for payroll prep a great deal.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

I am still familiarizing myself with the program; however, I have enjoyed the ease of moving from preparing payroll to going directly to the accounts payable to pay invoices.

#### Cons

I am not a fan of the grids at this time. I am looking forward to learning more on how to use these at the conference. I believe if I understand them more I will be able to utilize better.

#### Vendor response

Thanks for the feedback! We're confident that once fully acclimated to the system, you'll love the grids. At least, that's what we've heard from other customers.

### City of Oakwood's Experience with VIP

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Cindy S.

- Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years
- Reviewed: July 2023
- Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered

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.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### 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.)

#### Reasons 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.

The ease and efficiency of the VIP system is a huge benefit in providing the administration and residents of the City with the financial information that they need.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5

- Customer support: 5/5

#### Pros

VIP is very easy to navigate, drill down features make researching very simple, copying feature is a great time saver especially for journaling and entering requisitions, corrections are easily fixable, and option to open new month and still continue to make adjustments in previous month is helpful especially during busy months and when end of month time is limited. There are many other great features that I probably haven't mentioned.

#### Cons

Haven't really found any issues with VIP that I do not like.

#### Reasons for choosing Visual Intelligence Portfolio Suite

The City was using the E-Gov product from SSI and were super impressed with the new VIP product.

I was overwhelmed when I started this new position as the Utility Billing technician, however, the software and the customer service reps are there to help you.

I can't think of any cons. Before my time, our finance department used CMI. They switched over to VIP/SSI in 2019. I've heard nothing but good things since they switched.

#### Reasons for switching to Visual Intelligence Portfolio Suite

It was before my time in 2019.

### Great system for Government Accounting

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Greg K.
- Verified reviewer: Yes

VIP has allowed not only our office more access to the County's Financial and Payroll information, but now all of our departments have access to their accounts at their fingertips as well. It has improved our ease of retrieving data and documents even remotely. This came at the right time with COVID and the transition to working from home with ease.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

Being able to access your data at your fingertips including attached supporting documentation is one of the biggest plusses in VIP. The transition from our old system was a big change, but has proven to be a change for the better. VIP is doing the same processes in less step as many of those processes are automated. Also, with the use of imports, we have saved a lot of time on data entry on payroll, payment requests and year end processing. Being able to work remotely has been a big benefit with VIP as well.

#### Cons

Coming from a Human Resources aspect, tracking insurance information for employees is not something that VIP does well.

#### Vendor response

Thanks for the review! We appreciate the feedback so we can provide even more value to our customers.

VIP has allowed us to decentralize our accounting functions and allowed our departments to maintain and view their own data in real time. SSI is very responsive to request for changes and work arounds to solve problems.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

Flexibility to create grids specific to a particular task.

#### Cons

Some grids take significant time to load. For example vendors grid brings in all the vendors instead of allowing the user to key in search criteria first. With the number of vendors we have this can take significant time. Similar issue with payments search.

#### Reasons for choosing Visual Intelligence Portfolio Suite

We have been a long-time SSI client and have had a positive relationship with the company for more years than I have been around. There has been no reason to look elsewhere.

#### Vendor response

Thank you for the honest feedback. We are consistently improving our software to benefit our clients and releasing updates, including grid-loading speed improvements. We appreciate the information!

### Very helpful for a Beginner user

Overall it has been very positive and the support staff have been excellent to work with.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

My transition into payroll specialist for the county I work for was not one where the previous individual I was taking over for stayed and trained with me to make the transition smooth. The support staff with VIP has been incredibly helpful with any support ticket I have entered and have essentially trained me in my new position. Once learning how the software works, it is easy to navigate the system. I have just started using the knowledge base on the support site and it is highly useful for the many questions and issues that come up in this new position I am in.

#### Cons

It would be nice to be able to lock offices out of payroll when I begin processing payroll just for security reasons. I am very new to processing payroll and don't have much experience with other systems, so I might have more to say next year!

#### Reasons for switching to Visual Intelligence Portfolio Suite

Our Commissioner's office made the switch because the former system was out of date, and our county needed an upgrade. This decision and implementation was done before I took over payroll for our county.

#### Vendor response

Thanks for the feedback! We do have a flag function to not allow people to adjust time while it is clicked. We also have a permissions function that may help. We would love to help you explore this further! If you call in and let us know what you want to do, our Customer Support team can help.

### Fantastic Governmental Finance Solution

#### Ratings breakdown

#### Pros

The user interface is very user-friendly. The "grid" layout is consistent between different functions, making it very easy to get used to navigating the system. The software is also tuned very well for government fund accounting. The implementation team was very thorough in helping us to understand how the system functionality would slot into our existing processes, and where we may be able to change and improve those processes.

#### Cons

There are no areas that I feel are insufficient. It does put current procedures under a microscope, and making such necessary changes can be challenging, but it is ultimately for the best.

#### Reasons for choosing Visual Intelligence Portfolio Suite

Reputation and experience with product

#### Reasons for switching to Visual Intelligence Portfolio Suite

We made the switch from Civica CMI because the version we were using was given a sunset date and we had some issues with the software and quality of support that made us decide to look elsewhere.

#### Pros

The ease of drilling down into a person or account. We like the cloud and not using paper. Everything is stored on the cloud. Payment requests have all information attached to the request. The search function is easier. The reports are user friendly. Export to Excel is a much needed advantage.

#### Cons

That more history is not carried over. Sometimes it is really slow. Loading sometimes takes forever and times out.

#### Reasons for switching to Visual Intelligence Portfolio Suite

Needed to update as Egov was getting old

Thanks for your feedback!
