Specifications include, but are not limited to: Elgin ISD is seeking qualified Vendors to provide an integrated platform comprising of both an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Student Information System (SIS) system that will meet the needs of the District, including but not limited to system integration services; technologies that support both ERP and SIS systems; and strategies designed to optimize ERP and SIS system benefits. Elgin ISD is seeking a fully scalable solution for use by District staff. The District currently utilizes Ascender for ERP and SIS as well as third-party software that may or may not fully integrate with Ascender currently. This RFP is intended to provide evaluations for an ERP and SIS-integrated platform system. It allows a Vendor flexibility in proposing the most appropriate and cost-effective system they can provide. The objective is to fully update the District with modern business system functionalities and data integration for enterprise-level processes, dashboards, and reporting. The system must be able to scale as appropriate to handle an increase in the number of users if needed and/or required due to District growth or programmatic/operational needs. The system must be robust to handle a full capacity load with transaction processing at any one given point in time. The preferred solution should be an All Solutions Provider (ASP) hosted environment (Cloud-based, etc.) or Software as a Service (SaaS). The implementation of this platform must be a turnkey installation. The system must be fully scalable, provide enhanced interoperability, and interface with an open application programming interface (API) architecture to third-party Vendors. The District’s technology direction is to pursue an open API architecture environment and the appropriate configuration for the proposed solution with connectivity to existing software(s), should be included. The proposed system is required to meet, gather, store, and export all current data reporting formats as required for the Texas Public Education Information Management System (PEIMS) submissions (Fall, Mid-Year, Summer, and Extended submissions, as well as Core collections). The proposed system is required to stay up to date on all mandatory Federal and State business, payroll, student, and data reporting requirements requested of the District for Federal and State compliance, as those needs change and expand. The system must also meet the Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC) data reporting requirements for the Office of Civil Rights (OCR) reporting annually...
