OPINION: Moving Idaho’s finances into the future
When Idaho implemented the Luma financial and administrative system in July 2023, it marked the largest and most significant technology upgrade in state government history. For decades, Idaho relied on aging, disconnected programs that no longer kept pace with the needs of a modern, fast-growing society.

And while there have been growing pains, much like upgrading to a new phone or computer where a few settings need tweaking before everything runs smoother, the long-term benefits are significant and measurable.
