Education | www.kahua.com/education www.stellarservices.com The school system conducted an extensive, in-person, demonstration evaluation process with all the school system's stakeholders and constituents involved in the process. It was looking for a single solution that would: Adapt & Evolve: Provide the flexibility and agility to meet the various departments' unique requirements and be able to adapt to new business processes, legislative changes and reporting requirements over time Consolidate: Enable users to leverage a single platform, reducing the technology footprint, eliminating the need to work within multiple systems and perform redundant data entry that led to mistakes Unify: Operate two separate business units that function separately regarding budgets, workflows and templates into one solution EDUCATION The construction arm of the country's largest public school system builds, maintains and supports the needs of over 1,700 schools and just over one million students. Recent forecasting revealed that not only were facilities aging, but they were nearing capacity with a growing student population. The system needed to adapt to the current learning environment to meet the needs of the students and community at large. After careful review of existing systems and processes, school district leaders realized their project management information system (PMIS) was not going to scale with their growing demands; it was only crippling their delivery of new and expanding learning facilities. In addition to a PMIS that would not scale, the school system was using the same point solutions for 20 years and had simply outgrown the technology. With six administrative systems and 10 integrated systems, capital programs were being run with disparate processes cobbled together. This operating method was inefficient and would impede the school system's ability to deliver programs on time and on budget. With a five-year, $20B capital program spend and the demand to add over 44,000 seats, leadership knew modernizing its construction capital program process could no longer be postponed. With a scope this size, it needed a PMIS platform that was both agile and efficient for planning these projects. Requirements
