Special Districts

Special districts are facing increasing pressure to modernize their operations, improve transparency, and deliver more with fewer resources. Unfortunately, many school districts and transportation agencies are still relying on legacy ERP systems that were not designed to support today’s demands.

Whether driven by system end-of-life deadlines, lack of integration, or the need for better forecasting and data insights, district leaders are seeking trusted guidance to navigate ERP replacement.

Panorama Government Solutions helps special districts move from outdated, disconnected systems to modern, integrated platforms that support efficiency and compliance.

District-Specific Challenges Driving ERP Replacement

K–12 Education

  • Outdated student information systems (SIS) that are poorly integrated with finance and HR
  • Disconnected tools for payroll, benefits, purchasing, and budgeting

Higher Education

  • Fragmented administrative systems across departments and campuses
  • Manual reporting and compliance tracking for federal and accreditation bodies

State Investment Boards & Public Finance Authorities

  • Legacy accounting and portfolio systems that can’t support modern investment oversight
  • Limited ability to track complex fund structures, alternative assets, or investment performance

 

Transportation Agencies

  • Siloed systems for fleet management, procurement, budgeting, and work orders
  • Difficulty managing capital improvement projects and long-term infrastructure planning

Airports & Aviation Authorities

  • Legacy systems unable to support lease management, tenant billing, or facility operations
  • Inadequate tools for project accounting and capital program tracking

Parks and Recreation Districts

  • Difficulty managing diverse services such as facilities, programs, and reservations
  • Manual processes for maintenance, procurement, and fee collection
