Lawson Software Inc. has won a contract from the city of Waterbury, Conn., to provide human resources software, the company announced this month. The contract is worth more than $1 million, according to the company.

Under the contract, Lawson of St. Paul, Minn., will provide a centralized software application to help the city manage human resources information, such as time accumulation and compensation, and to process payroll.
