The District School Board of Niagara (DSBN) set out to modernize its financial and operational systems to better support students, staff, and long-term planning. Leveraging OECM’s Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Solutions and Related Services, DSBN selected Sparkrock Edsembli Inc. as its trusted solution partner, gaining access to an implementation process and solution designed specifically for the public education sector.
Covering all twelve Niagara municipalities, the Board supports approximately 43,000 K–12 students through 77 elementary and 17 secondary schools, guided by 11 elected trustees and nearly 4,000 staff members.
Through Sparkrock, DSBN improved financial visibility, strengthened reporting capabilities, and streamlined workflows across departments. The board now benefits from more accurate data, enhanced accountability, and tools that support strategic decision-making, all while reducing administrative burden.
DSBN has fully transitioned its financial services and processes to a paperless environment, significantly reducing paper costs and cutting courier deliveries from daily to twice weekly. The district also regained valuable office space by eliminating fifty filing cabinets. By choosing Sparkrock through OECM, DSBN accelerated its digital transformation with a cost-effective, compliant, and sector-aligned solution.
