ERP Project

The ERP Project is broken into three phases:

1. Business Process Analysis

The first phase is to document the business processes that are carried out in each of the areas of the College that enable us to do our jobs.

This Business Process Analysis will involve interviewing all areas of the College to describe, document, and analyze what they do to support the College mission. These business processes will be used to create a Request For Proposal (RFP), that will tell potential vendors what a new system must be able to do, and invite them to respond to the College with a proposal that will meet our business requirements.

2. Evaluation of Proposals

The next phase of the project will be to evaluate those proposals we received to determine the best fit for the College. To do this, we will compare the business processes that we identified in phase 1 with the solutions proposed by each of the vendors that respond to our RFP.

Once a product decision is made and a successful vendor is selected, we will also select a qualified Implementation Partner. This will be an organization that has special skills and experience setting up and implementing the ERP product the College selects. This organization will work with our current IT staff, and users to insure a successful, and timely implementation of the ERP solution.

3. Planning, Setup, and Implementation

The third phase of the project will then begin with the planning, setup, and implementation of the new systems, and conversion of all our historical data into that new system.
