In October 1995, Council awarded a contract to KPMG Peat Marwick for the licensing of an Integrated Financial Management System.

Tier Technologies, Inc., acquired the Government Solutions Center from KPMG Consulting in April 2002. |

The software is proprietary to Tier Technologies, and it is the only organization that can provide upgrades and software support for their products. |
