Los Angeles Teacher Union Streamlines Membership and Grievance Management by Leveraging the Expertise of Sopris Systems

Like many unions, United Teachers Los Angeles faces the challenges of managing member benefits, dues, events and activities. Not having the right system in place created an administrative burden and lack of visibility on the status of individual members. Manual process and independent silos of information led to slow response times and inaccurate information. In addition, the grievance department found it challenging to manage cases and ensure proper procedures were followed. To meet these challenges, UTLA collaborated with Sopris Systems to deploy Microsoft Dynamics AX.

“With the power of Microsoft Dynamics AX and the expertise of Sopris Systems, we deployed a new ERP system and infrastructure that has created automated processes and document-access workflows. These capabilities allowed us to take a problem area and turn it into a measurable and sustainable plus for the organization.”
