  B. Smart Finder Express Quote Vote Kelly Simon 5 m
   

When we transitioned from BSA to ExEd, we no longer had access to the sub finding platform, Frontline. We have been searching for replacement software that can effectively be integrated with Paychex. The data integration team at Smartfind Express, offered through Power School, has determined that they can successfully integrate with Paychex as an automated sub-finding platform. This quote is for one time implementation, and an annual fee. The implementation fee has been negotiated down by 50%, and the growth of the annual fee has been reduced by 2%. 

 

Approval of this item is recommended
