The mission of the
Datatel project is to move the College to a highly integrated and effective
information system that supports education, provides accuracy and ease
of use, and is consistent with the College's vision, priorities and areas
of focus.
The
project implementation goals are to:
- Improve services
to internal and external users.
- Increase staff
access to accurate, reliable, and timely data.
- Investigate and
improve all processes affected by the Datatel project.
- Provide students
with direct access to appropriate information.
- Meet state and
federal reporting requirements.
- Enhance decision-making
and planning capabilities.
We will succeed
when we have converted from our current "legacy" software to the Datatel
Colleague software. This will be demonstrated when:
- Costs associated
with the "legacy" system are eliminated.
- All employees
are educated about the capabilities of the Colleague system as
it relates to their jobs.
- All employees
can perform their job responsibilities using the Colleague system.
- We can track a
student's academic and financial records from first contact through
their lifelong learning process.
- We have the mechanisms
in place to continually enhance and improve the system.
- Students can access
their academic and financial records through the Internet.
- Each of the following
systems is fully operational:
- Finance system
- Student Information
system
- Human Resources
system
- All state and
federal performance requirements can be met with the Colleague
system.
- Colleague provides
the data needed for institutional effectiveness measures.
We
will achieve these outcomes through:
- Campus-wide teamwork
- Effective communication
- Customer focus
- Training
- Process evaluation
- Commitment to
the success of the project
- Organizational
flexibility
- Timely planning
and decision-making
Project
Scope
To provide information technology that supports all administrative units
with appropriate databases, information and analytic functions. The
Colleague implementation project is the orderly and timely conversion
of Oklahoma City Community College's entire administrative information
system. To the extent possible and as appropriate, processes currently
performed manually will be automated and integrated into Colleague,
as will adjunct databases that are needed to conduct college business
e.g., facilities, demographic, and research files. The Project Team and
its various work teams will use this implementation plan and related reference
materials provided by Datatel to guide the College through the implementation
process.
