An ERP solution for public sector organizations needs to meet specific operational requirements. Look for these essential features in any solution you’re considering:

1. **Public sector-specific design:** Maximize the benefit to your organization’s productivity with a solution designed specifically for the public sector.
2. **Reporting capabilities:** Adhere to GASB (Governmental Accounting Standards Board) reporting requirements with an ERP solution that enables you to do so with minimal extra work.
3. **Fund accounting:** Increase visibility with funds management and encumbrance accounting. You’ll easily track funding or endowments at a granular level.
4. **Cloud capabilities:** With a cloud solution, you’ll eliminate the burden of hosting the solution in-house.
5. **Mobile access:** Empower your workforce with increased mobility. Choose a solution that employees can access via a free Android or IOS app.
6. **Subscription pricing:** Instead of paying a large sum upfront for a public sector ERP, find a solution with [a subscription pricing model](https://accountingmicro.com/blog/3-features-you-need-in-a-public-sector-erp-solution), where you pay annually, as you do with your other operating expenses.
