Accounts Payable/Purchasinq System for installation on the County's
central computer. Through competitive bidding a system from Management
Sciences of America(MSA) was selected. Data Processing has been assisting
the Auditor and Purchasing with the system's installation, but the project
has reached a point where the assistance of a person experienced in imple-
mentina the MSA packaaes is necessary to insure appropriate policy and
procedures for a successful installation and conversion.

installation of MSA packages. Continuing to contract with them will provide
the needed expertise to insure the system is implemented successfully.
