In an ideal world, an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system would help your institution operate like a well-oiled machine, bringing campus processes, people and the institutional strategic plan together.
Unfortunately, these powerful and complex technologies come with powerful and complex systems, processes and procedures that can cause the kinds of operational inefficiencies they were designed to eliminate, according to CampusWorks, a company that specializes in supporting ERP for community colleges.
In this episode, ACCT's Jacob Bray and David Conner spoke with CampusWorks Senior Vice President for Client Development Keith Myers about what community college trustees should know about ERP.
Drawing from experiences at Educause's 2020 Trend Watch, Myers demystifies the technical aspects of ERP, offering a market context and walking through the preparation, evaluation and implementation phases.
