Challenge

On conducting an internal analysis, the staff at the campus, realized how the technology challenges impacted their students. Some of the technical inefficiencies the university had been facing were:

    • Providing project leadership for functional work groups and FAs enabling them to stay on time and on task.
    • Serving as cross-module integration project coordinator to assist in the resolution of cross module issues.
    • Identify and confirm impacts by the Banner conversion deliverables
      • Functional processes
      • Forms
      • Fields
      • Database objects
    • Facilitating business process review and application prototyping sessions as well as providing business process analysis and insight into best practice methodologies.
