Applicant Tracking System (ATS)
ATS is a Web-based software application that enables the comprehensive electronic handling of MCPS recruitment needs. It includes a career site, allowing Office of Human Resources or hiring managers to post jobs that can be viewed by internal or external candidates through links from the MCPS website. Principals can review candidate qualifications online and track the status of a candidate through the hiring process.
Online IEP
The Online IEP system is a Web-based application that uses the State IEP form but also streamlines student information from several MCPS databases. This coordination of student information in one central database results in better service to parents and students.
User Identity Management System
The user identity management system automates user account creations and deletions, as well as handles exceptions using workflows; manages password policies; provides compliance with audit requirements; and provides users with password self-service. By automating these complicated tasks, this system minimizes human errors in managing user accounts and provides necessary audit reports. In addition to the initial creation of access privileges, this system helps to dynamically adapt to changes in business requirements.
