Integration
For the first time, having a system that manages our students education and records connects to the systems that run our businesses and the systems that keep personnel records of our faculty and staff.
Industry Best Practices
Put into place systems and procedures that comply with CUNY’s common goal of providing the best customer service to our students, faculty, staff and community.
Standardization without loss of identity
Put into place common processes that can be accepted across the university while allow campuses to continue their unique missions.
Self-service
Make available modern systems and processes that allow the user more control and flexibility.
Accurate and timely information
Have information when we need it so we can perform our work on our timetable.
Replacement of aging computer systems
Our main systems for human resources and student administration are a generation old and have reached their capacity. We need to most modern educational and business systems to meet the high standards of CUNY, its students, faculty and staff, and all our customers.
