REV SMC takes another step forward
REV SMC is a college initiative that brings SMC departments together to enhance, streamline and revitalize our Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, otherwise known as Colleague.
Since August 2021, over 50 participating staff members from departments such as Human Resources, Payroll, Office of the Registrar, Admissions, Advising, Academic Affairs, Finance, Accounts Receivable, Financial Aid, and IT Services have spent nearly 2,000 combined hours in Business Process Reviews (BPR).
Since early October 2021 working teams, which were established during the BPRs, continued to meet on a weekly basis to identify and prioritize vital opportunities for process improvement and begin the work of data/code clean up, data migration to SQL, and updated data integrations.
As we enter the phase of User Acceptance Testing (UAT) beginning in mid-February, our working teams will continue the documentation of processes, and testing and training on new processes, creating a data governance framework and implementing newly selected reporting tools.
In addition, a new SQL database will give the college many more opportunities for reporting and integrations. The work being done during the REV SMC engagement will result in better cross functional collaboration, more efficient teams, streamlined processes and a healthier ERP system that will enhance and improve the overall student experience.
