About this file
This is a Business Justification document for the University of Mississippi's proposed sole source purchase of Highpoint Campus Experience software, submitted under Mississippi's state procurement process (RFx: 3150006957). The document supports USM SSP 27_001, a Notice of Proposed Sole Source Purchase subject to Mississippi Code Section 31-7-13(C), with a comment and objection deadline of 8:00 a.m. Central Time. The Highpoint Campus Experience platform is intended to serve as an integrated student experience system for the University of Mississippi's campus operations and student engagement functions.
The justification outlines the rationale for sole source procurement rather than competitive bidding, indicating that Highpoint is proposed as the singular solution meeting the University's specific requirements for campus experience management. The document provides the business case supporting why this particular vendor and product are deemed essential for the institution's operational needs, though specific pricing, contract term, implementation timeline, and detailed functional requirements would be contained within the full procurement package and related solicitation documents.

Business Justification Letter for HighPoint Campus Experience
HighPoint Campus Experience (CE) is a mobile platform that integrates directly with the University of Southern Mississippi’s (USM) Oracle PeopleSoft Student Information System (SOAR). It provides students with streamlined access to class enrollment, schedule management, and academic and financial records. Faculty, staff, and advisors use the system to efficiently locate and verify student information, supporting timely assistance and issue resolution.
HighPoint Technology Solutions specializes exclusively in Oracle PeopleSoft solutions for higher education, delivering products designed specifically for PeopleSoft environments.
Licensing, maintenance, and support for HighPoint CE are funded through the iTech SOAR/SOARFIN Support budget (10H10 120029 06000 IT00068). The software is delivered and hosted on university maintained on-premises servers. HighPoint CE integrates seamlessly with other HighPoint tools used at USM—Schedule Builder, Degree Planner, and Degree Auditor—providing students with a unified experience for schedule creation and degree planning.
As an Oracle PeopleSoft partner, HighPoint employs component interfaces, content references, JavaScript, and proprietary code that run within PeopleSoft Campus Solutions. This architecture enables real‑time, secure communication with the PeopleSoft database, ensuring immediate updates to student records and maintaining data accuracy and integrity. Based on our analysis, HighPoint CE offers a more cost‑effective and uniquely integrated solution compared to alternative products that lack real‑time PeopleSoft integration.
