EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This following study was commissioned by the Modell Charter School to determine the feasibility of implementing a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system which will allow the school to run the Financial, HR and Payroll departments with efficiency. The new system implementation will aid the school’s management team to realign its business processes with its most current goals and mission. The selection of an Enterprise Resource Planning software would integrate these core functions and eradicate problems such as paying employees who are no longer with the school. It would also allow other stakeholders such as parents and students to be able to utilize the system to access grades and assignment status. All stakeholders agree a change is necessary.

This project can be an opportunity to restructure the organization with a customer- and service-oriented approach to improve accountability and encourage enterprising employees to streamline their day-to-day processes through hands on training. Although the budget may not allow for a customized ERP Modell still have the opportunity to streamline processes and continue the state of optimism of the new system throughout the organization.
