Northbrook, Illinois -- June 18: To provide clients with a strong local presence to support productivity and cost efficiencies in the Midwestern school market, Digital Schools has opened a customer service center in Northbrook, Illinois.   Digital Schools, also with offices in Salinas and Stockton, California, offers its Digital Schools Suite™ of applications to schools. The Suite, a resource measurement, budget and payroll management and position control application, integrates human resources, business office and payroll data into a central, organized core repository.

“We are seeing our school customer base among Midwest school districts growing as school administrators seek to enhance ways to manage and measure the greatest impact on the budget: resources. In particular, they are looking for the position, payment and budget management tools essential for providing real-time visibility and accountability to and for their district operations,” said Bill Babington, Client Services Manager for Digital Schools Midwest.

“The economic challenges facing Midwestern schools are unprecedented. Administrators must drive cost and productivity efficiencies based on volumes of reports which must be both accurate and timely. So they must have rapid and visible access to all resource data in order to make these decisions,” said Sarah Beyne, CEO of Digital Schools.

Digital Schools is a proven, services driven application built with and for school professionals. It provides the premier toolset for measuring and management personnel costs and in so doing supports the duties and decisions needed for staff planning and hiring, human resource and district budgetary control, position monitoring and analysis.  It integrates human resources, business office and payroll data into a central, organized core repository providing measurement and control over the highest cost item of a district: resource costs which typically account for 80% of the budget.
