NIGP 20879 RPA Software, Microcomputer (Item) encompasses enterprise resource planning systems, special education platforms, school nutrition management software, human resources information systems, and code enforcement applications that state and local governments procure to replace legacy manual or fragmented systems with integrated cloud-based or on-premise solutions.
