Houston ISD serves as a community school district for most of the city of Houston and several nearby and insular municipalities. Houston ISD’s Contract Management Team required a web-based solution to increase collaboration, automate workflow, optimize performance and ensure more than 50 Independent School District facilities were completed on time and under budget.
The Houston Independent School District (HISD) is the largest public-school system in Texas and the seventh-largest in the United States. Many of the Houston ISD campuses were constructed prior to 1960 and as the need for renovation grew to accommodate more students, meet safety standards and include security upgrades, the Team recognized the need to invest in technology that would replace their paper-based inefficient office software processes, support their increased workload with industry-specific workflows, and enable collaboration between team members.
