The business systems team develops, enhances and maintains the delivery of business applications supporting the operation and staff of MCPS. These business applications include, but are not limited to:
Asset Management System

Allows the Division of Controller to track Capital Assets that meet the Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) capitalization threshold.
Board Docs System

Decreases the amount of paper required at Board meetings. Board agendas and supporting documents will be made available to the public via the Board Docs web site. Anyone having access to an internet connection will have the information available to them.
Connect-Ed

Communicates emergency information, attendance notification and community outreach initiatives via phone to employees, students and parents. Will allow school leaders to disseminate important information in a time efficient manner to many people.
Document Imaging System

Allows MCPS to store and retrieve files in electronic images rather than physically store the paper document. One of the benefits is that the time to retrieve a document will be considerably less. Another benefit is that the office space needed to store the physical papers will be eliminated.

Salary Simulation
