Elgin School District U-46 to implement Skyward's Qmlativ School Business Suite software.
STEVENS POINT, Wis., Aug. 27, 2024 -- 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.
