Welcome to COMPASS


      The COMPASS project came about as the result of an exhaustive business needs analysis conducted by the Cherry Creek School District with the assistance ofCompass Apriant (an outside consultant).  We are pleased to report that Lawson was selected as the vendor for this project.  Lawson is a leader in providing state-of-the-art Enterprise Resource Planning software.  With board approval, the Cherry Creek School District purchased the software and hardware necessary and has now begun the design phase of the system.

      These web pages will be updated weekly with new information on the progress of the project and a continuously updated calendar of special events, as well as the publication of a quarterly newsletter.  Please check back often for the most up-to-date information on COMPASS. 

 

It is paramount to the success of the Cherry Creek Schools' COMPASS project to build a capacity for change and maximize the potential for a successful transition to a new enterprise resource planning system.  Research indicates that the number one obstacle to success for a major project is employee resistance and ineffective management of the people side of change.
