This legacy system, developed in Micro Focus AcuCOBOL, supports the financial and administrative needs of Georgia's local school districts.
GaDOE seeks a modern, scalable, and sustainable ERP solution. This opportunity is unique because the agency requests the work to be performed at no cost to them. A successful vendor would provide a critical system for statewide educational operations.
