Northglenn Council intervenes in software purchase
Response to Councilmember Wieneke's Blog
In Response to Gaye Monroe's Posting
I am, and I'm sure many others, are curious as to why Mr. Robert Red's post from 3/28/08 has never been responded to. Mr. Red is obviously one of three things due to the "inside information" he was able to impart:
1. A current Innoprise customer
2. A former Innoprise customer
3. A former Innoprise employee
I have been patiently watching and waiting *for three weeks now* for someone - anyone - to respond to Mr. Red's intelligent and informed post. Perhaps Mr. Red was also one of the many in our city to have received a threatening email from one of the "Northglennoprise" minions? Maybe we should re-name the City of Northglenn: "The City of Northglennoprise." (Although I'm sure this would get at least three or four council approval votes from the now infamous "Northglennoprise 4.")
It has also been quite apparent that every word that has been uttered by Gene Wieneke, Tom Pond and the others has been recited directly from the Innoprise playbook of "How to Forcibly Win Back Business in Deals You Have Already Lost." The money that has been spent by the City of Northglenn *AFTER* the city selected Springbrook is likely into the tens of thousands now in needless staff hours and otherwise wasted time in the form of costly "tail-chasing."
Please remember citizens of Northglenn: Innoprise lost the business at Northglenn fair and square in a process that spanned several months and included competent staff due diligence. Innoprise was selected only to provide the sales tax software at Northglenn initially, but they were not able to successfully complete the contract process, typically, the easiest part of the process for the vendors. Northglenn threw out Innoprise not because their software wouldn't work for Northglenn, but because they felt they couldn't work with the president of Innoprise, Dennis Harward. There are several documented cases that can be found on the Internet where Innoprise has been embroiled in litigation with their customers over non-performance or failure to perform. Why aren't we calling these former Innoprise customers to ask them about Innoprise and/or if they would ever choose Innoprise again if faced with a similar situation? I'm not an expert on Innoprise's failures, but I would be willing to bet that the words, "not with a ten-foot pole" would be used.
During last Thursday's 4th study session on this same issue, Innoprise *STILL* couldn't show their payroll and human resources software because, by sheer coincidence, their "link wouldn't work." The City of Northglenn made their selection in December of last year and since then, I'm certain Innoprise has been feverishly "building" the software that, I believe, still doesn't fully exist. This entire process, as it relates to a few members of Northglenn's City Council and their obvious unethical relationship with Innoprise, is the most publicly embarrassing political process I have ever seen. As a result of this, I am ashamed to be a resident of this community.
