Enable

What Enable does

Enable, LLC (operating as Enable Systems) is a privately held professional services and software firm founded in 1992 and headquartered in Broomfield, Colorado. The company designs, implements and supports enterprise software — primarily ERP systems — for local government entities across the United States, with selective engagements in the UK. Over 30 years, Enable has delivered implementations to more than 1,000 governmental organizations ranging from small authorities to jurisdictions exceeding one million in population, covering functional areas including Core Financials, Human Resources/Payroll, Utility Billing, Courts, Public Safety, Community Development, Fleet and Asset Management.

The company's technology footprint spans custom development across desktop, mobile, web, server, cloud and embedded systems, alongside a proprietary cloud-based product called the Agenda Management Suite that automates the creation, approval and publication of municipal council agendas. Enable also delivers middleware and integration services that virtualize data across disparate enterprise systems, and partners with Unit4 to implement the Prevero corporate performance management platform for non-profit and other clients.

Enable's revenue is generated primarily through professional services engagements — software implementation, management consulting, change management, data migration and custom development — with a smaller, productized subscription component from the Agenda Management Suite. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, relying on website inquiries, industry conference presence and long-standing domain reputation in the public-sector technology market. Founder and principal Dennis J. Harward leads the firm, which operates as a small, agile LLC without external investment or parent-company relationships.
