Summary
:
Board Approval needed for the Questica Budget Software Subscription Contract 2023-2028
Background
Questica was selected after an extensive RFP process, where numerous budget management platforms were considered.
This tool will greatly improve the budget development process with a more user-friendly interface for all schools and departments as well as automate procedures performed by the Budget Office. This will allow the Budget Office to devote more time to supporting school and department leaders with planning and analyzing financial operations.
This tool will also allow for more sophisticated analysis of personnel, operations and capital budgeting and streamline the public presentation of these budgets.
Questica is uniquely suited to meet the needs of government and educational entities.

Year 1: $312,425.00
Year 2: $159,500.00
Year 3: $167,475.00
Year 4: $175,849.00
Year 5: $184,641.00
