GEMS Financial Software

Product Details

Overview

GEMS by Harris ERP is a long-running enterprise suite for financial management, payroll, human resources, and utility billing. Its financial applications support accounting, budgeting, purchasing, payables, receivables, cash, assets, and reporting for public-sector organizations.

Harris continues to support an active GEMS customer community while offering CitySuite as a modernization path for some organizations. Districts using GEMS should document their supported version, hosting arrangement, integrations, and long-term migration plan rather than treating the product as discontinued.
