SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS
Approve the Agreement for Technical Services with NEPS, LLC. to Upgrade Net30™ Software (Information and Technology Division)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The district uses NEPS Net30™ software (NEPS), including merge and transformation tools, which are used to create purchase orders, accounts payable checks, remits, 1099 tax forms as well as a series of new employee packets.   

This Agreement for Technical Services is necessary to migrate and upgrade the existing Net30™ applications to the most current versions.  The new Net30™ platform features a more user-friendly design tool, complete with enhanced features, as well as support for the latest operating systems.  The upgrade positions the district on a sustainable platform.   NEPS will install the software, convert the existing templates, update configuration files and process scripts as described in the attached Statement of Work.  NEPS will also provide a system administrator training session to give district staff a degree of support autonomy.

FINANCIAL IMPACT (Budgeted:  Yes)
The cost of this upgrade is $19,801 and is allocated from the Information Services Budget.
