Balance will use OAR in 1-2 years. Most of the people who are designing and building the integrated system are from within the U.Va. Therefore, the University's requirements are known by the people on the teams. In addition, the ISP Advisory Committee is comprised of managers from throughout the University, and they have established teams of unit administrators and expert users to advise the project staff in both designing and testing the system. These people will also receive early training so they can serve as on-site resources when the system is implemented.
Training is a priority.
Everyone who will touch the new system in any capacity will receive training. We'll keep you informed. We value your input,however you choose to provide it.
