Is your department’s process a decision, or just something nobody has stopped doing?
Decades ago, real technical limits forced campuses to build manual workarounds and shadow spreadsheets — the business equivalent of cutting a pot roast in half because the pan was too small. The pan got bigger. Banner and Colleague added native workflow, approval routing, and automated integration years ago. But the workarounds built around the old limits are still running, still requiring duplicate data entry, and still making every upgrade harder than it needs to be.
This session gives you a practical way to sort genuine business requirements from inherited habits, and to tell the difference before you’re mid-upgrade. We’ll walk through the three workarounds we see most often on campus, why returning to baseline functionality makes upgrades and vendor support dramatically easier, and how to retire a long-standing process without setting off a panic in the office that depends on it.
Bring one process you’ve always wondered about. You’ll leave knowing whether it earned its place.
