Elgin School
District U-46 to implement Skyward's Qmlativ School Business
Suite software.
STEVENS
POINT, Wis., Aug. 27,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Skyward, a school
administration software provider committed to helping K-12 leaders
spend less time on tasks and more time with students, has partnered
with Elgin School District U-46 in
Elgin, Illinois. The district
recently selected Skyward's Qmlativ School Business Suite as their
new enterprise resource planning (ERP) software to consolidate
their payroll, HR, and financial accounting systems.
U-46 is the second largest district in Illinois serving over 34,500 students and
4,500 employees across 55 schools. As a large district with a busy
business office, U-46 needed a system that would help streamline
their processes.
"Qmlativ will allow our staff to execute their daily tasks in a
more simplified and efficient manner," exclaimed Frank Williams, assistant superintendent of
finance at U-46. "Having one system that can perform and record all
the HR, payroll, and finance functions will allow our staff more
time to execute other projects that are important to our mission of
'All means All.'"
Keeping a group mentality in mind, U-46 used a core group of
stakeholders to help make their new ERP decision. After an
extensive review process, U-46 selected Qmlativ for its vast
features, robust reporting, and improved functionality.
"We are excited to welcome Elgin School District U-46 to our Skyward
family," said Ray Ackerlund,
president at Skyward. "Large districts have a lot of moving parts
in their business offices, and Qmlativ is ready to help everything
run smoothly and accurately. We are honored to be chosen by U-46 as
their new ERP as the district evolves."
Skyward and U-46 look forward to fully implementing Qmlativ,
with a go-live date in July 2025.
U-46 joins 413 other districts within the state that already use
Skyward, who has been serving Illinois school districts since 1988.
