In 2021 Des Moines Public Schools implemented FIS Integrated Payables to enable virtual credit card payments and streamline vendor remittance workflows. The deployment is scoped to AP Automation for the School District Business & Finance Accounts Payable function, with an explicit focus on processing VISA payments to suppliers.
The FIS Integrated Payables configuration emphasizes virtual single-use credit card issuance and remittance management, sending single-use card details to vendors via email and attaching detailed remittance information that lists all invoices paid. This implementation leverages core AP Automation capabilities such as payment orchestration, vendor enrollment, and electronic remittance delivery without requiring vendors to provide banking information.
Operational rollout is organized around vendor self-registration through fisintegratedpayables.com using the I Am a New Customer subscribe flow and a Registration Code, with vendor support handled by the Vendor Enrollment Support Team reachable at phone 866 717 5008 and email agp.jax.vendorenrollment@fisglobal.com. The program explicitly uses VISA payment rails and is operationally targeted at the district Accounts Payable organization and the vendor community that supplies Des Moines Public Schools.
Governance and support responsibilities are assigned to the Vendor Enrollment Support Team and an internal program contact, Ben Lubkeman at Des Moines Public Schools, for enrollment and program inquiries. Stated benefits delivered through FIS Integrated Payables include reduced payment wait time via prompt single-use card delivery, improved financial controls by eliminating paper check risks, and consolidated remittance transparency through AP Automation workflows.

In 2019, Des Moines Public Schools implemented Benefitfocus Benefitplace for Benefits Administration, centralizing benefits enrollment and compliance for the district. The deployment was positioned to serve the Office of Business and Finance and its constituent departments, including Financial Services, Employee Services, Procurement Services, and Board Support, providing a single benefits administration portal for district employees.
Benefitfocus Benefitplace was configured to support core Benefits Administration capabilities, including employee self service enrollment, eligibility management, plan configuration, and ACA reporting workflows that generate and store Form 1095-C documents. The Benefitfocus portal is the district channel for employees to view and download 1095-C forms, and the system supported document access and benefits election lifecycle management for benefits administrators and staff.
Operationally the Benefitfocus Benefitplace instance was used alongside the district payroll processes and the Employee Online channel to coordinate tax and benefits documentation, with employees instructed to retrieve W2s from Employee Online and 1095-C forms from Benefitfocus. The implementation covered district employees and was integrated functionally into Employee Services and Payroll operations to ensure benefits deductions, reporting, and employee communications were aligned with Business and Finance routines.
Governance for the Benefitfocus Benefitplace deployment aligned with existing DMPS Business and Finance procedures and the Employee Handbook, with Benefits and Payroll teams responsible for maintaining compliance related processes and document distribution. Enrollment workflows and ACA reporting were embedded into established district procedures for benefits administration, supporting coordinated operation between Benefits, Payroll, and Financial Services.
