Dallas District Goes All in with ERP Provider
The Lancaster Independent
School District (LISD) in Dallas has decided to replace its
current finance,
human resources and payroll systems by expanding an existing partnership. The district will add Prologic
Technology Systems'
business software to the Prologic student information system that the
district,
with about 7,300 students, already uses.
LISD has used the company's Total
Education Administrative Management Solution (TEAMS) software
since 2012
to digitally support enrollment,
gradebooks,
attendance, reporting by teacher level, assignments, transfers and
transcripts.
With the complete enterprise resource planning (ERP) software, the school district will now have a
fully integrated system that will link every department into a single,
shared
database. Using a single dashboard, administrators will have access to
all
employee and student data.
Along
with the academic information already at its disposal, school representatives
now
have modules that will include general ledger and journal entries,
payroll,
human resources, non-personnel budgeting, vendor management,
procurement,
accounts payable and receivable, cash flow, bank reconciliation and
warehouse
and fixed asset management.
"Our students, parents, teachers and clerks have
been
benefitting from the real-time reporting through our student
information system
since we transitioned to TEAMS four years ago," said LISD Student
Information
Systems Director April Janeway. "I look forward to our finance and HR
teams
receiving the same benefits that the student management team has
experience
from utilizing TEAMS as our student management system."
