The county needed a reliable system that could be rapidly implemented by January 1, 1999, when the county-owned hospital's separate mainframe will cease to operate. Additionally, the county and the hospital, Tuolumne General Hospital, both needed to be on the same system to ensure better funding decisions and better reporting to the state. Currently, the county isn't able to access the hospital's financial records and the hospital cannot supply detailed information for the county budget. "It was very important for us to find a vendor whose software could help us meet California's strict reporting requirements and thus, avoid potentially heavy fines," said Gregg Jacob, Information Systems and Services Manager for Tuolumne County. "We researched what other California governments were using, and PeopleSoft's experience in California and familiarity with the states reporting standards gave us assurance that we could rapidly implement their applications with little modification." With a rapid implementation underway, the County and Tuolumne General Hospital are expected to be running PeopleSoft's General Ledger, Accounts Payable and Purchasing applications by January 1, 1999.
