According to the RFP, the school district’s current ERP environment comprises various software applications, including “TERMS Crosspoint,” which was implemented in July 1999 and is hosted on-premises.
Other third-party systems the school district uses include Kronos iSeries to track time and attendance, Infinite BrassRing for applicant tracking, PowerSchool myPGS for professional development and several “homegrown” applications.
As a result, the RFP states that the current ERP system is too highly customized and no longer meets the district’s needs and strategic priorities.
The school district seeks to acquire a new ERP system that meets the following minimum requirements:
- The system must have an installed base in K-12 school districts in the United States
- The system must be a software-as-a-service (SaaS) offering hosted in the cloud by the supplier or at a third-party site arranged by the supplier
- The system must be accessible via a variety of web browsers
- The system must integrate seamlessly with ancillary systems, including the district’s SSO portal, through configurable APIs
- The system must have a flexible, intuitive report writer tool that can access data from all modules and external data
