CPS Extends OTI Contract to Include Support and Service
Tuesday 31 January, 2006
The Chicago Board of Education has named Omicron the Strategic Sourcing Vendor over a 5-year period for system-wide ID creation, building access, student financial tracking, textbook management, and all needed equipment and supplies. Omicron will assess schools preparedness and establish an individual Building Assessment Plan to insure a smooth transition from current systems to Omicron’s new product line. Omicron’s LSIMS products will no longer be offered as all systems will be transitioned to Verify.

Verify is similar to the LSIMS package currently implemented in many CPS schools, and offers a secure and safe way to provide student ID creation, building access, student financial tracking, and textbook management. The new Verify system also includes maintenance and yearly licensing agreements.

 Omicron Technologies, Inc. (OTI) is a Chicago-based firm that specializes in software development, implementation and technology consulting. OTI has been implementing solutions such as student-information systems, security management systems, large scale web-based engineering applications, ID card applications, asset tracking systems, and portable data gathering solutions since 1994. Within these areas, OTI has created products that are now common in private and public entities.
