Student Information System Meeting - 28 June 2007

In the category of Things Should Have Taken 5 Minutes to Do...

I attended the Student Information System (SIS) meeting on 28 June 2007. The meeting was scheduled from 9:oo a.m. to 10:30 a.m., but barely lasted 20 minutes.

The major points were that: (a) more than 160 processes are performed by the current SIS and need to be performed on the new system, (b) representatives from Campus Management are now on campus and working on data and systems migration to the new SIS, (c) maintaining the working time line is important - failure to meet objectives will impact future events in terms of coordinating personnel, (d) the SIS is scheduled to go live on 1 July 2008, and (e) progress can be tracked online.

You can track information on the SIS's development by clicking here. [I am not sure if is accessible from home. It is on the Blackboard server and has the HTTPS protocol.]
