A milestone.<\/p>\n

Thus did interim Education commissioner Donna M. Flores describe the Public School System\u2019s transition yesterday afternoon to the Tyler Technologies\/Tyler Enterprise ERP, a cloud-based software that improves and automates the financial management system of the school district.<\/p>\n

After nearly three years of planning and training, the PSS-Finance department switched at exactly 2pm yesterday to the most modern software integration system that will include financials, human resources, procurement, and federal programs related systems of PSS\u2019 central office.<\/p>\n

PSS had been using the JD Edwards System for decades before this transition.<\/p>\n

Flores was joined by PSS Finance director Arlene Lizama, Tyler Technologies project manager Caroline Wine, and implementation consultant Sean Grogan, as they witnessed PSS treasurer Elia Marie O. Santos log on to the system, officially migrating PSS Finance\u2019s system to Tyler Technologies.<\/p>\n

By the third week of January this month, Tyler Enterprise ERP will be rolled out throughout the school district\u2019s 20 elementary, middle, and high school campuses on Saipan, Tinian, and Rota.<\/p>\n

Tyler Technologies\/Tyler Enterprise ERP is the nation\u2019s leader in integrated software that has done over 40,000 installations, and serves 25% of all school districts in the entire United States, according to Wine. \u201cWe are glad to have the opportunity to empower the CNMI PSS to be stronger in all that they do for the community,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Aside from PSS, the CNMI Department of Finance and the Commonwealth HealthCare Corp. are the only other entities in the Commonwealth that have implemented this<\/p>\n

Flores acknowledged the value of PSS\u2019 investment in the new automated Tyler Technologies\/Tyler Enterprise ERP.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis will definitely streamline all financial-related activities that happen on a daily basis at PSS. It is a more elaborate and efficient system that provides improvements,\u201d Flores said, adding that it addresses the recommendations of external auditors in further improving PSS\u2019 financial management systems.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is essentially strengthening our accountability and reliability systems, which addresses recommendations of our external auditors,\u201d Flores said.<\/p>\n

She also praised Lizama\u2019s team at PSS Finance.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really want to acknowledge the hard work of our Finance director Arlene Lizama and her incredible staff who have taken the lead and extra time in building the system. Without their help, it would not be possible at all for our school district,\u201d Flores said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a milestone for the Public School System. This is a great undertaking that took a lot of persuasion, research, and hard work by our dedicated staff into making this possible. This is as a result of taking the right direction with technology,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

PSS began looking at investing in a modern and automated system three years ago by looking at digital transformation that relied less on paperwork.<\/p>\n

\u201cDefinitely, the Tyler Enterprise ERP System will streamline all financial system, especially budgeting and forecasting for PSS,\u201d said Lizama.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis raises our level of accountability by providing more transparency in what we do,\u201d Lizama added. (PR)<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
