Local Administration & Finance
Powering the Business of Governance.
Stewardship for the Taxpayer Dollar.
City Hall is not just a building. It is the operating system of the community. In the departments of Administration, Finance, and HR, the mission is efficiency. You are the stewards of the public trust. You collect the taxes, pay the police officers, manage the elections, and record the history of the city. The mandate is unforgiving. You must balance balanced budgets against rising costs, recruit talent against private sector wages, and deliver Amazon-level digital services on a municipal budget. You are managing the machinery of democracy, where transparency is law and every penny must be accounted for.
​
Moraph Administration Solutions is the specialized practice engineered to serve City Managers, Finance Directors, City Clerks, and HR Directors. We act as the secure bridge between the bureaucracy of the past and the agile government of the future. From the Council Chambers to the General Ledger, we provide the digital infrastructure that makes the city work.
The Architecture of Value
GASB-Ready Accuracy. Cyber-Insurable Security.
Administrative leaders face a relentless paradox. You must open your books to the public to ensure transparency while locking down your systems to satisfy cyber insurance carriers and prevent ransomware. Moraph resolves this tension.
We operate on a philosophy of Transparency and Trust. Whether we are modernizing a 30-year-old ERP or securing the voter registration database, our approach is rooted in GFOA best practices. We recognize that in local government, a financial error is a headline and a data breach is a political crisis.
​
Our solutions are engineered to withstand the rigorous scrutiny of State Auditors and Cyber Insurance Underwriters. We do not retroactively apply controls. We embed MFA, Immutable Backups, and PCI-DSS payment safeguards directly into the architecture of your departments.
Our Operational Model: The Hybrid Advantage
Proprietary Precision Meets Best-of-Breed Scale.
Municipal IT is often a struggle between monolithic "Government ERPs" that do everything poorly and disjointed spreadsheets that run the city. Moraph offers a unique hybrid capability that unifies the administrative stack. We operate through two powerful, integrated streams:
1. Moraph Proprietary SaaS
Purpose-built applications for the city’s most critical transparency gaps. For the specific legislative and engagement hurdles that generic software cannot handle, we deploy our own engineering. These are high-impact applications designed to build trust with the council and the public.
-
Meeting & Agenda Command Center: A transparency engine for the City Clerk. It automates the creation of complex agenda packets, manages live voting during council meetings, and publishes searchable video minutes instantly. It ensures compliance with Open Meeting laws without the late-night manual collation.
-
Budget Transparency Portal: A citizen engagement tool. It translates complex line-item spreadsheets into interactive visualizations. It allows residents to see exactly how their tax dollars are spent, reducing friction during budget hearings.
-
Public Records Request Tracker (FOIA): An automated compliance workflow. It centralizes the intake, redaction, and release of public records. It prevents statutory deadline violations and reduces the legal risk associated with information requests.
2. The Partner Ecosystem (Admin Edition)
Managed implementation and governance of global platforms. Cities need the power of modern HR and Finance tools, but they need them integrated with the legacy mainframe. We are the experts in the "Government Editions" of these platforms.
-
ERP Modernization: Management of Tyler Technologies, Oracle, or Workday implementations. We guide you through the complex migration from "Green Screen" legacy systems to modern cloud ERPs. We ensure that utility billing and payroll run perfectly on Day 1.
-
Digital Procurement Hub: Deployment of OpenGov or Bonfire. We digitize the RFP and bidding process. We allow vendors to submit bids online, increasing competition and driving down costs for the city.
-
Enterprise Content Management (ECM): Implementation of Laserfiche or OnBase. We digitize the miles of paper files in the basement. We automate the retention schedules, ensuring that documents are kept exactly as long as the law requires and not a day longer.
Finance & Treasury
Revenue Assurance.
For Finance Directors, the goal is a clean audit. Moraph partners with the CFO to ensure that every transaction is secure and every fund is balanced.
-
Utility Billing Resilience: We secure the cash register of the city. We ensure that water and sewer billing systems are high-availability and PCI-compliant. We prevent the revenue loss associated with billing system downtime.
-
Cyber-Insurance Readiness: We act as your insurance broker’s technical partner. We implement the specific controls (Offline Backups, Endpoint Protection, MFA) required to qualify for cyber insurance. We help you obtain coverage in a hardening market.
-
Grant Management: We track the lifecycle of ARPA and IIJA federal funds. We ensure that every dollar is tied to a project and reported correctly to the Treasury, protecting the city from clawbacks.
Human Resources
The War for Talent.
For HR Directors, the workforce is the asset. Moraph provides the modern tools that help you recruit and retain the next generation of public servants.
-
Onboarding Automation: We streamline the "New Hire" experience. We replace the stack of paper forms with a digital portal. We ensure that IT, Payroll, and Facilities are notified instantly when a new hire accepts, ensuring they have a laptop and a badge on their first day.
-
Modern Performance Management: We move beyond the annual paper review. We implement continuous feedback tools that align employee goals with the strategic plan of the city, improving engagement and retention.
-
Secure Benefits Administration: We protect the PII of your employees. We ensure that the data connections to health insurers and retirement funds are encrypted and monitored, preventing identity theft of city staff.
City Clerk & Elections
The Digital Memory.
For City Clerks, accuracy is history. Moraph ensures that the official record of the city is preserved, accessible, and secure.
-
Digital Archives: We preserve the history of the municipality. We digitize ordinances, resolutions, and minutes dating back to incorporation. We make them searchable for staff and citizens, reducing the time spent hunting for old codes.
-
Board & Commission Management: We manage the complex roster of citizen volunteers. We track term expirations and applications for city boards, ensuring that vacancies are filled and governance continues smoothly.
-
Election Worker Logistics: We support the logistics of democracy. We provide the scheduling and training platforms for poll workers, ensuring that elections are staffed adequately and run professionally.
The Moraph Difference: Managed Governance
We Don't Just Support. We Steward.
The greatest risk to Administrative IT is "Ransomware." Local governments are the #1 target for cyber-extortion because criminals know you cannot afford to be offline. Moraph distinguishes itself through our Managed Governance model. We act as the digital bodyguards of City Hall.
-
The Virtual CISO (vCISO): For cities that cannot afford a full-time Chief Information Security Officer, we provide the leadership. We report to the City Manager on risk, manage policies, and lead incident response, giving you executive expertise at a fraction of the cost.
-
The "Audit-Aware" Service Desk: For our admin clients, support isn't routed to a generic queue. It is handled by our Global Resilience Command. We understand that a payroll system failure on a Thursday is a livelihood emergency. We prioritize it above all else.
-
Cooperative Purchasing: We streamline the buying process. We utilize national cooperative purchasing contracts (e.g., OMNIA Partners, Sourcewell). We allow cities to procure our services quickly and legally without the overhead of a 6-month RFP process.
