Description

Higher Education relies heavily on enterprise content, corporate knowledge, and intellectual capital. Yet, having the right activities, business processes, and technology systems in place to ensure easier manageability and the greatest value of these assets generally ranks near the bottom of funding priorities – especially in these trying financial times. Most organizations recognize the strategic value represented with these, but few are in the position to put forth a large scale effort to implement the necessary technology controls. This, coupled with the serious and costly (in the short term) change management programs needed to ensure success, means that even more pressure is put on institutions to do more with less in every way. At KCTCS, we’re finding ways to increase the value of these strategic assets while simply encouraging work the way people normally work. Using all of the common tools for communication and collaboration, we are making business as usual work better for us because of the services and approaches used on the back end from Office 365. This session will describe how these services work and what we are doing to make sure they work for the business of operating our colleges and teaching our students.
