We at Delta Initiative are holding our next webinar to share information on Student Information Systems (SIS) in Higher Education. Previous webinars focused on LMS strategy and IT governance. This month's webinar is focused on the issues surrounding the challenges in succeeding in SIS implementation projects.
Student Information System in Higher Education: How to set up the project for success Congratulations - you've been charged with selecting and implementing a new Student Information System! You’ve now taken on responsibility for the type of project that fails most often at institutions, and you’re not even in control of key levers of change. What should you do to set this project up for success? Based on our consulting and research, institutions pay the most attention to pure technology and vendor selection, when those factors are not the biggest make-or-break issues. When SIS projects go awry, they don't tend to go over budget or over schedule by 10 - 20%, but rather by 100 - 200%. What issues should you focus on up front to set up for success? How should an institution or system set its strategy based on the current solutions but at the same time be ready for future changes? What are some of the best practices that are available to help with system selection or implementation? These key questions will be addressed during the discussion.

Managing IT initiatives, projects, and services in an academic environment is a complex undertaking. The ability to effectively analyze needs, build
consensus, and develop strong partnerships is critical to success. This
webinar will present methods for engaging a broad range of cross-campus
constituencies to build consensus around IT initiatives. We will
present strategies for analyzing your community, organizing the teams
and sponsors of your project, engaging the community, progressing from
engagement to consensus, moving from consensus to implementation, and
maintaining and evolving the community as the resource matures.

With the purchase of Angel by Blackboard, the LMS market is changing rapidly. You need to be aware of what's happening and how it affects your current and future plans. During this webinar you will gain an understanding of the LMS profiles of peer systems from across the country (approximately 16 schools and universities), and we will discuss in depth the current state of the LMS vendor market. If you're looking for some sort of magic to solving ALL your LMS institutional issues or crystal ball to see the future of the LMS market, you won't find it here. However, we will discuss several key issues faced by state-wide systems and how they are planning to solve them.

The purchase of Angel by Blackboard has triggered significant changes in the marketplace.

How should an institution or system set its strategy based on the current solutions but at the same time be ready for future changes?
