Goal 5 – Maximize core missions through effective technology<br />
Initi<strong>at</strong>ive 5 – A: Promote integr<strong>at</strong>ed d<strong>at</strong>abase development to support effective d<strong>at</strong>a-driven<br />
decision making.<br />
Action Plan:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Str<strong>at</strong>egy 5.A.1. Continue to integr<strong>at</strong>e college policies and processes into<br />
autom<strong>at</strong>ed systems<br />
Aligned with Str<strong>at</strong>egy 4.D, once policies and procedures are identified,<br />
they will be moved into autom<strong>at</strong>ed processes<br />
Currently accomplished utilizing Central 360 and various university<br />
systems th<strong>at</strong> will eventually be combined into concurrent systems elimin<strong>at</strong>ing<br />
redundancy and allowing d<strong>at</strong>a consolid<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
Upgrade CENTRAL 360<br />
Str<strong>at</strong>egy 5.A.2. Examine d<strong>at</strong>a structures and optimize opportunities to mine d<strong>at</strong>a<br />
Conduct full survey <strong>of</strong> d<strong>at</strong>a structures available internally and once<br />
d<strong>at</strong>asets are identified and coded, begin to mine d<strong>at</strong>a th<strong>at</strong> those overseeing core<br />
missions need <strong>for</strong> their oper<strong>at</strong>ions.<br />
Str<strong>at</strong>egy 5.A.3. Consolid<strong>at</strong>e d<strong>at</strong>a into normalized tables to ease access and<br />
manipul<strong>at</strong>ion <strong>of</strong> d<strong>at</strong>a<br />
Once d<strong>at</strong>a structures are identified and the survey completed, work on<br />
restructuring d<strong>at</strong>a tables can begin and will ease the process <strong>of</strong> accessing relevant<br />
d<strong>at</strong>a<br />
Str<strong>at</strong>egy 5.A.4. Develop adaptive reports to aid administr<strong>at</strong>ors in making well<br />
analyzed decisions<br />
Current reports <strong>for</strong> administr<strong>at</strong>ors are basic and more in<strong>for</strong>m<strong>at</strong>ion is<br />
needed to make critical decisions about the oper<strong>at</strong>ions <strong>of</strong> the college; thus,<br />
reporting capabilities will be expanded and new reports will be cre<strong>at</strong>ed th<strong>at</strong> are<br />
easier to access and understand.<br />
Str<strong>at</strong>egy 5.A.5. Expand the CON d<strong>at</strong>abase to centralize d<strong>at</strong>a across all<br />
departments<br />
CON d<strong>at</strong>a sources span diverse systems, necessit<strong>at</strong>ing the need <strong>for</strong><br />
consolid<strong>at</strong>ion to increase responsiveness and elimin<strong>at</strong>e redundancy<br />
Major systems th<strong>at</strong> do not link are: SAM, Accounting Service Intranet,<br />
<strong>College</strong> Internal D<strong>at</strong>abases, ATI, Registrar & IMS. There are other smaller<br />
systems th<strong>at</strong> can also be integr<strong>at</strong>ed.<br />
Initi<strong>at</strong>ive 5 – B: – Deploy cost-effective technology to support an effective infrastructure.<br />
Action Plan:<br />
<br />
Str<strong>at</strong>egy 5.B.1. Provide targeted technology support (hardware and processes) to<br />
support CON core missions<br />
FY 2012 – 2013 has many initi<strong>at</strong>ives set to address core mission<br />
technology needs; with key upgrades: the Practice EMR, Central move to the<br />
web, Sharepoint designed Intranet, Web redevelopment and deployment &<br />
Integr<strong>at</strong>ed B-Line simul<strong>at</strong>ion server consolid<strong>at</strong>ion.<br />
