eBook: ERPs Aren't Built for K-12 Complexity

Understanding the Limits of ERP Systems and the Role of Process Orchestration in K-12 School Districts

District leaders are asking a critical question: Can existing ERP systems handle the growing demands for automation, compliance, and operational efficiency? The answer reveals why ERPs alone aren't enough.

While platforms like Skyward, Frontline, and PowerSchool excel as systems of record, they weren't designed for K-12's unique workflow complexity—where approvals depend on funding sources, routing varies by department, and school site staff need accessible interfaces.

This guide explores the fundamental limits of ERP systems in K-12 and how process orchestration fills the critical gap.

What's Inside:

• Why ERP workflow features fall short - rigid routing structures, limited configurability, and adoption barriers that create bottlenecks
• How process orchestration solves K-12 complexity - automating cross-departmental workflows, embedding internal controls, and providing visibility across operations
• The dual-system strategy - using ERPs as the system of record while deploying process orchestration as the system of action

Transform operations without disrupting the foundation. Learn how forward-thinking districts preserve their ERP investments while eliminating paper processes and spreadsheets.
