Oklahoma City Community College is implementing a new student/administrative information system. Colleague is the name of the new system recently purchased from Datatel, Inc. It is expected that it will take about two years to make Colleague fully operational. Implementation of Colleague is an evolutionary process. As we gain expertise and confidence in the system, we will continually strive to incorporate more functionality and sophistication in the use of the software.

This plan provides an overview of the Colleague implementation project: its mission, goals, scope, approach, supporting organizational structure, administrative procedures, and timetable. Implementation activities are quickly unfolding and will involve most, if not all, employees at some point in the implementation process. This plan provides a context for these activities.

Implementing the Colleague system will be a challenging and exciting undertaking. It will require a new order of cooperation, effort, and organization of work. The payoffs for successfully completing this task are great. When completed, Colleague will provide us the capacity to work more efficiently and effectively and to incorporate current information technology that will take us into the 21st Century. Most importantly, Colleague will enable us to significantly improve both quantitatively and qualitatively the support and services we provide our students, employees, and community.
