AptaFund 4 will feature a new graphical user interface (GUI) and will be released in phases, beginning with the human resources module.

"We are very excited about AptaFund 4 because it addresses the requests we have received from our customers. The enhanced, web-based user interface (UI) allows districts to easily manage and report on their human resources data," stated Vice President of Sales and Marketing Deana Kovalcik.

The AptaFund 4 solution is a centrally hosted, fully integrated, online fund accounting and business management solution for school districts with an enrollment under 15,000 students.

"The web-based interface will be rolled out in phases with human resources, payroll setup and payroll processing planned for release in 2011," said Harris Vice President of Research and Development Scott Schollenberger. "The new web UI will be available alongside the existing AptaFund thick client, allowing users to transition easily and at their own pace."

The AptaFund 4 suite includes, but is not limited to, the following modules: financial, general ledger, state reporting, budget development, human resources, Employee Services Portal (ESP), purchasing, accounts payable, capital assets (non-profit compliant), and bank management. The modules are fully-integrated, aiding personnel in the timely completion of back-office and fund accounting procedures.

"AptaFund allows me to quickly move between modules. I can transition from payroll to accounts payable without any wait," said Malcolm Public Schools Business Manager Julia Lostroh.
