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.
