Edupoint Helps Las Cruces Public Schools Meet Expedited Launch Date to Replace eSIS

IRVINE, Calif., May 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Edupoint™ Educational Systems, a leading student information system (SIS) solutions provider to the national K-12 market, has been selected to implement its GENESIS™ and GENESEA™ SIS solutions for the Las Cruces Public Schools (LCPS).  While the school district could have chosen to migrate to free software provided by the new owners of their existing eSIS™ system, a comprehensive study of all available options recommended the Edupoint purchase.

Las Cruces Public Schools is the second largest district in New Mexico serving more than 24,000 K-12 students at 38 campuses.  The district will implement the complete Edupoint solution suite comprising GENESIS SIS, the GENESEA solution for Special Education, and all integrated modules, including TeacherVUE™ Gradebook, and the ParentVUE™ and StudentVUE™ self-service web portals.  The district also expects to take full advantage of Edupoint's Revelation Technology™, the rapid application development platform underlying GENESIS, to meet future needs for new functionality and integration with third-party enterprise applications.

Rob Wilson, Edupoint's President, announced the company's selection:  "We are excited to work with our first New Mexico school district and have committed the resources necessary to ensure that our systems meet all of the state's reporting requirements.  Like other former eSIS customers who have chosen Edupoint, Las Cruces has an expedited implementation schedule that we can fully support with our experienced implementation team and proven methodology.  We look forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship with Las Cruces Public Schools."

According to Wes Baker, LCPS Director of Information Operations, selecting Edupoint was an easy decision that was well received by LCPS educators, principals, and administrators following vendor product demonstrations.  "Gaining consensus in a large school district can be frustrating; however, we quickly saw how functional and beneficial the solution would be for our district," said Baker. "The reaction from our staff was amazing.  In every functional area evaluated, our team rated Edupoint number one."

Las Cruces Public Schools will begin implementation and data conversion during the summer of 2011 and expects to have all campuses on the new system in time for 2012/2013 school year registration.
