Livingston, TX Government Software Case Study

The City of Livingston Partners with Caselle to Implement New Software

The City of Livingston, Texas required a new government accounting software to support their growing needs and to reduce manual processes. As they considered which platform was best suited for their city, they also evaluated each provider’s implementation process. Livingston staff not only needed guidance during implementation but wanted to run both systems in parallel as part of their implementation strategy.

The Challenge

The City of Livingston needed new software that would allow them to grow and improve their processes. With a firm deadline the implementation process was a big determining factor.

The Solution

To ensure an efficient and smooth implementation process, Caselle and Livingston engaged in regular and ongoing communications early on. Caselle encouraged the City to ask a variety of questions during the software demo and at every stage of the project. This open and ongoing communication proved to be invaluable to the project’s success and allowed Caselle and the City to work together as a unified team.

The Results

Livingston went live ahead of schedule. With a firm deadline in place, the city's new software was up and running within four months — ahead of their own timeline.

Running both systems side by side paid off. By operating the legacy system in parallel with Caselle, Livingston could compare data, catch errors, and train staff before fully cutting over.

Communication never let up. From day one through go-live, Caselle and Livingston stayed in constant contact, which kept the project moving and expectations aligned.

The partnership carried the project. A dedicated Caselle team member worked closely with staff throughout, catching issues before they became setbacks.
