A number of colleges outside of SWC are interested in a time and labor module and this will be a joint development effort between all interested colleges. A consultant who was to lead the Student Records prototyping sessions was suppose to start in July, after a number of false starts the consultant will now be starting October 1. The lack of a consultant has resulted in interfaces and relationships between Student Records and Admissions, Financial Aids and Student Financials remaining unresolved. Having open issues has placed all of these modules behind schedule. The impact on the schedule of the delay will be evaluated as we move along with implementation.
Work continues with the student data conversion team.
Most of the data required for PeopleSoft has been defined and mapping of legacy systems data to PeopleSoft is underway. At each school programs will need to be written to extract the information from the legacy systems, cleanse the data to get it accurate, and programs written to load the data into PeopleSoft. Once the data is loaded the functional teams responsible for setting up the system will need to test out the data to insure its accuracy. SA staff from all three colleges continue to work cooperatively in defining the set-up and business process to fit the PeopleSoft system. I would like to recognize Julie Morse, Marcia Newquist, Maureen Menendez, Kathy Kreul, and Peri Mills for their continued hard work, which is keeping the project moving forward.
