The Challenge

Universities and K-12 school systems are navigating a digital crossroads: aging on-premise systems, escalating cybersecurity risks, and the growing expectation for a mobile-first, always-connected experience. Add to that the pressure of managing peak enrollment and complex faculty workflows—and it’s clear that institutions need scalable, secure, and modern platforms to thrive in a rapidly evolving landscape

Our Approach:

  • Advise: We architect transformation—not just transitions. From strategic roadmaps for Student Cloud, HCM, and Finance to aligning stakeholders around a unified vision, we turn “Ground Zero” planning into a launchpad for innovation.
  • Deliver: Precision execution with zero academic disruption. Our experts ensure sensitive student data migrates seamlessly while workflows evolve for a modern, digital-first campus.
  • Support: Beyond maintenance—true enablement. Our managed services absorb the complexity of SaaS updates and continuous optimization, so your team can focus on shaping the future of education, not chasing patches.

Key Outcomes:

  • Data Integrity: Establish a single source of truth—secure, unified data that eliminates silos and powers real-time insights across the entire institution.
  • Scalability: Future-ready systems that flex effortlessly for peak enrollment, major hiring cycles, and evolving contract demands—without disruption or downtime.
  • Engagement: A modern, intuitive digital experience that empowers faculty and students, driving adoption and accelerating transformation.

Case Studies

University of Kansas (KU)

Overhauling a legacy environment for a premier research institution.

  • The Challenge: KU’s aging PeopleSoft environment was heavily customized, making updates difficult and slowing down critical administrative functions for thousands of faculty and students.
  • The Highstreet Solution: We executed a comprehensive “lift and shift” to a managed cloud environment, streamlining their core Financials and HCM systems while stripping out technical debt.
  • The Impact: A more resilient, high-performance infrastructure that reduced operational costs and allowed KU’s IT team to pivot from maintenance to innovation.

Portland Public Schools

Modernizing Oregon’s largest school district.

  • The Challenge: PPS struggled with fragmented data and manual processes that hindered their ability to support over 49,000 students and thousands of staff members across 81 schools.
  • The Highstreet Solution: Highstreet led a full-scale digital transformation, implementing a unified Oracle Cloud solution for Finance and HR tailored to the unique regulatory needs of K-12 education.
  • The Impact: Eliminated data silos, automated manual workflows, and provided leadership with real-time visibility into district operations, ensuring more resources reach the classroom.

Highstreet has been a trusted partner for KU for many years. Their specialization and background in Higher Education and Oracle applications and willingness to work through issues during the [project] made them stand out during the selection process.
