OSCAR Project Enters Home Stretch
dwaldron February 8th, 2008
A Datatel trainer was on campus this week to conduct the first training session on the Colleague Human Resources module. This training marks the beginning of the final phase of the OSCAR project. The final module is slated to go live at the beginning of January, 2009. Natalie Richardson and Kim Nadin chair the Human Resources Inmplementation Team charged with leading this phase of the implementation. Programmer/Analyst Connie McCarty will serve as technical lead.
The OSCAR project began in January, 2005. Since that time the College has successfully implemented the finance module (general ledger, purchasing, accounts payable), the budget module, the admissions module, the financial aid module, the student records module (including online registration), the degree audit module and the housing module. Colleague Advancement, Datatel’s new product for development and alumni affairs, is currently running parallel with the legacy system and will soon be fully live as the system of record.
Participants in Datatel’s personnel training enjoy a meal together to mark the beginning of the HR implementation.
