IRVING INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT
BUSINESS SYSTEMS ANALYST - ERP SYSTEMS
JOB DESCRIPTION
WAGE/HOUR STATUS: Exempt
FUNDING SOURCE: Local
REPORTS TO: Director of Information Systems
DEPARTMENT: Information Systems and Servers
DATE REVISED: 7/22/2026
PRIMARY PURPOSE: The Business Systems Analyst - ERP Systems makes the District's applications work for the people who depend on them: learning how a department operates, asking the right questions, and turning the answer into a configured, tested, well-documented system. The deep specialty is the District's Tyler Enterprise ERP (Munis) platform and the human resources, payroll, and finance business processes that run on it: the configuration, workflow business rules, security, queries, reporting, and standard data imports and exports that keep those processes moving. Munis is largely packaged (out-of-the-box) software, so the value of this role is understanding what the system can do and configuring it well to fit the District's processes, not writing it from scratch. This is also a generalist analyst who can step into any District system (student, HR, or finance), learn it quickly, and give users and owners a clear answer.
