You're invited to SIS solutions demonstrations
Dear University Community Member,
As many of you are aware, Ohio University is in the process of selecting a new and improved Student Information System (SIS). The new SIS system will enhance the efficiency and increase the effectiveness of critical business processes associated with student-related information services.
The SIS system supports our Registrar, Financial Aid, Admissions and Bursar's offices and the student and faculty services that they provide. We have worked with many of you to define our requirements for this new system. All of the feedback we received was analyzed and vendors were invited to respond to our Request for Proposal based on the requirements we provided. Several vendors responded to our request, and two of these vendors were chosen by the SIS Selection Team to showcase their product to the university community.
The two vendors chosen are Oracle and SunGard. Both of these vendors supply top-notch student information solutions to various institutions of higher education. We hope that you will join us in reviewing and evaluating these two systems. We have scheduled two types of sessions covering a variety of areas encompassed within a typical Student Information System.
BASIC OVERVIEW
There are two OVERVIEW sessions scheduled for each vendor. These sessions will consist of a brief overview of the systems and are two hours in length. Covered topics include: A day in the life of a student, faculty/advisor, and administrator, business intelligence/reporting, user training/online help and system access & navigation.
FULL DAY DEMONSTRATIONS
Two FULL DAY sessions will look at each of the SIS solutions in detail. Each of these sessions will be different. They will be scripted to include all areas associated with the Student Information System.
