Indian Prairie School District 204 Licenses Lawson Software Financial and HR applications
Unified Lawson system will help Illinois school district boost operational efficiency, improve data access organization-wide
Glen Ellyn, Illinois.—May, 2007—Kinsey & Kinsey, Inc. today announced that Indian Prairie School District 204 in Naperville Illinois has licensed the Lawson Software (Nasdaq:LWSN) S3 Human Capital Management, Supply Chain Management, Enterprise Financial Management and Enterprise Performance Management Suites to help improve operational efficiency and cross-departmental data-sharing.
The unified Lawson system will replace the district's legacy business system, which required duplicate data entry and could not support cross-departmental data-sharing or reporting. The Lawson system will help the district consolidate its financial, procurement and human resources processes onto a single system while gaining business intelligence functionality and organization-wide reporting. This will help the district improve access to operational information to help guide decision-making.
Specifically, the Lawson S3 Human Capital Management Suite will help automate the district's workflow processes, enabling employees to directly access and update information related to their benefits. With the Lawson S3 Supply Chain Management Suite, district staff will receive proactive notifications to help them negotiate and finalize contracts by deadlines, streamlining the procurement process and helping to ensure the right products and services are delivered at the right time at the best price.
The Lawson S3 Enterprise Financial Management and Enterprise Performance Management Suites will provide the district with a centralized financial system that supports proactive, role-based notifications to designated employees. This timely business intelligence will help district staff take action to improve operational efficiencies and customer service.
Lawson serves more than 120 public services customers, including three of the top seven digital state governments and four of the 25 largest school districts in the United States. Governments, cities, counties, school districts, publicly owned utilities/authorities and special districts rely on Lawson solutions to help meet the needs of a variety of stakeholders - constituents, employees, students, vendors and the community - while helping to maximize limited budgets.
