IT Enterprise Applications

The Enterprise Applications team builds and supports an increasingly
complex stack of applications that run the gamut from large, enterprise
District-wide solutions, like SIS, ERP and TRIRIGA, to custom-tailored
solutions for specific use by departments and everything in between.
Enterprise Application teams also provide data integrations, provisioning
and other support for our Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications.

The department contributed significantly to our changing student needs.
As the District went to 100% distance learning for nearly 200,000 students,
Google Classroom and Google Meet came to the forefront. The G Suite
Enterprise for Education purchase and installation provides students and
teachers with advanced online classroom features. It also provides the
District with security investigation and big data reporting tools. Additionally,
the team rolled out a public-facing PowerBI COVID-19 Dashboard that
reports all student and staff COVID-19 cases by school or department. (Full
article here) It further created custom COVID-19 Tracking and Meal Barcode
applications. The latter allows students or parents to use a digital barcode
or printed letter to pick up Grab-and-Go meals at schools. (Full article here)
