ERP Software

Salem‑Keizer Public Schools (approximately 37,000 students and 5,000 staff) is gathering information on Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions to replace its fragmented administrative systems. The RFI seeks detailed responses on functionality, integration, implementation, cost, and support for modules such as financial management, budgeting, payroll, HR, procurement, time‑keeping, reporting, and emerging AI capabilities. Vendors are asked to describe how their product meets public‑sector accounting standards, Oregon‑specific requirements, security certifications, and user‑experience expectations. The information will be used to shape future specifications and a possible formal RFP later in 2026. • Core modules requested: General ledger, fund accounting, budgeting, payroll, HR, procurement, fixed assets, grant accounting, and reporting/BI. • Desired integration points: Student Information System, payroll/time‑keeping, benefits, banking, state reporting, Microsoft 365, and APIs. • Emphasis on data migration, multi‑year budgeting, enrollment‑driven budgeting, and accessibility compliance. • Request for implementation methodology, timeline, staffing, training, change‑management, and support models. • Pricing guidance sought for a five‑year total cost of ownership, including licensing, implementation, maintenance, and ancillary services.
