Igniting The Town of Aurora's Financial Evolution: Novamodus' Game-Changing Solution
In July 2022, Novamodus commenced the implementation of the cutting-edge ERP system for the Town of Aurora, employing their tried-and-tested Citymodus methodology. Novamodus successfully deployed Oracle Cloud Financials, Planning and Procurement, encompassing crucial modules such as General Ledger, Payables (including Invoice Automation), Receivables, Assets, Procurement (including Self Service Procurement Purchasing, Sourcing, Procurement Contracts and Supplier Portal), Cash Management, Financial Planning, Workforce Planning, Financial Reporting, Narrative Planning , and Business Intelligence (BI) Analytics.
In addition, Novamodus, along with their partner, Ravic, implemented the Enterprise Municipal Solution for Property Taxes, Utility Billing and Cashiering, that were built using Oracle Platform as a Service (PaaS), and seamlessly integrated with the Oracle Cloud Applications. The User Experience was made seamless so that users can move from one application to another without even knowing it.

After an extensive and competitive selection process, the Town ultimately chose Oracle Cloud Applications as their solution, complemented by the expertise of Novamodus (formerly Vigilant), their chosen System Implementer.

By June 2023, the Town of Aurora went live with their new ERP solution, modernizing their financial processes and propelling them towards their strategic objectives. This implementation marked a milestone of reshaping the Town's approach to their systems landscape.
