Trends in NC LEAs Licensure moving to cloud-based Iron Data system Teacher Evaluation system moving to cloud-based True North Logic system ISIS & SunPac are moving from AS/400 to Microsoft SQL systems K12 Enterprise offering MS-based Finance/Payroll/HR system to replace SunPac ISIS will likely have most customers migrated to MS-based system next year Abundant options for education-specific applicant tracking systems Combined, all of these things place HRMS s future in jeopardy... 5
Why is HRMS in Jeopardy? As financial software (ISIS, SunPac) moves to Windows, Finance Directors may find less value in AS/400 (iseries) systems HRMS could potentially be the only AS/400 app 3 rd Party Applicant Tracking systems may reduce the use of HRMS significantly in many LEAs - potentially reducing HRMS receipts We estimate LEAs will spend $150,000+ on 3 rd party applicant tracking software in 2013, in addition to HRMS fees New Licensure or CEU Tracking system may alleviate the need for HRMS significantly in many LEAs - potentially reducing HRMS receipts Industry trend is toward more integrated finance/hr/erp solutions, away from HRMS 6

How To Gradually Reduce Dependence on HRMS Identify components that can easily be replaced with commercial software packages and guide LEAs to them Identify underused components in HRMS and stop new development first, then eventually end support Specify and document HRMS features and develop a benchmark to which vendors can develop commercial software Reduce HRMS fees; allow funds to be applied to commercial software Allow market forces to develop solutions that integrate with other industry standard solutions (e.g. IronData, TNL, Integration Services & Reporting) HRMS Steering Committee becomes the much broader "Business Systems Advisory Committee" DPI is out of the software development business and in the benchmarking/leadership business DPI negotiates statewide for optimum prices
Time Line Maintain old HRMS functionality on AS/400 platform: couple years Develop Specification for 3 rd Party Core HR Functionality: 2013 Move to 3 rd Party Applicant Tracking Systems: 2013 Reduce LEA s HRMS fees: 2014 Move to 3 rd Party CEU Tracking Systems: early 2014 Provide integration, reporting, benchmarking & leadership: ongoing 28
iseries Cloud 29
Cloud Example: Amazon.com Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud Customers: "Netflix, a leading online subscription service for watching movies and TV programs, has grown its streaming video business to millions of users globally. By using AWS, Netflix can quickly deploy thousands of servers and terabytes of storage within minutes." NASDAQ OMX Group, the inventor of the electronic exchange, uses Amazon Web Services (AWS) as the basis for FinQloud, a cloud computing solution specific to the financial services industry. FinQloud enables clients to store, manage and process large amounts of data cost-effectively while also helping them meet regulatory requirements.
What is the AS/400 (iseries) Cloud? One large system replaces dozens & dozens of smaller systems. This little box can hold eight 3.6GHz CPUs, 512GB RAM, 7TB Disk in just 1.6 cubic feet. Economies of scale. Reduction in support and cost of basic system needs. Better security & backup. Staff focuses on strategic goals, not system operations. If all LEAs moved to SAS cloud, Statewide savings is between $1,000,000 and $2,000,000 per year.
