Jeehan Fernandez – AHN News Writer

Tallahassee, FL, United States (AHN) – HP Enterprise Services has been awarded a $20 million contract to develop, design, implement and maintain the Early Learning Information System (ELIS) for enhancement of preschool education programs by the State of Florida’s Agency for Workforce Innovation.

ELIS is a consolidated information system that manages early learning programs used by 300,000 families whose children attend the Voluntary Prekindergarten Education and School Readiness programs.

HP will develop and implement a centralized child care management system designed to improve attendance tracking, provider payment processing, case management, eligibility determination and reporting.

“The ELIS creation will result in significant improvements to the way we are able to manage the state’s early learning programs. This system will provide real-time information that will improve accessibility, affordability and quality of early learning services for children and families,” Brittany Birken, director of Florida’s Office of Early Learning said in a statement.

The new system will enable data sharing capabilities between educators, parents, providers and state agencies.

HP will implement online self-service customer portals to improve customer service and ELIS accessibility for parents and providers to gain access to child development resources, early education information and referral information.

The system will assist with identification of fraud and overpayments as well as streamline administrative processes by serving as the single point of entry for eligibility data.
