APS Superintendent Dr. Beverly L. Hall joined Chief Information Officer David Williamson in congratulating a 50-member team that helped launch the Lawson system technology upgrade during a brief ceremony Friday in the CLL auditorium. The Lawson system manages APS transactions ranging from budget management to payroll. This upgrade goes a long way toward improving the district’s efficiency.
“Because of each of your contributions to this significant project, we’ve been able to automate, streamline and better manage the district’s functions — including human resources, procurement, financial management and so forth,” Dr. Hall told project participants. “To be candid, we attempted the upgrade a year ago, and we came up short. But this time, we got it right.”
