Oracle made several important announcements at Alliance 2014 – including a new release of Campus Solutions (9.2), cloud applications (HCM & Finance) geared specifically to higher education, as well as Student Cloud, a new student system to be built entirely in the cloud. Add to this the many roadmaps for PeopleSoft HCM and Finance, PeopleTools, User Experience, and Business Intelligence. This information leaves many campuses asking “now what?” Whatever mix of Oracle products your campus has deployed, an applications strategy will help you understand what you can do right now to set the stage to take advantage of features and functions outlined in Oracle's product roadmaps at Alliance. Io Consulting is in a unique position to help you develop an applications strategy for your campus. Join us for this webinar as we help you: 1. Get an overview of Oracle's product roadmaps, from an implementation perspective (i.e. what it will take to take advantage of what is on the product roadmaps). 2. Get a framework to take back to your campus to create an applications strategy that makes sense. 3. Get tips on what your campus can do right now to get ready to execute your applications strategy.

Putting it all together
Start right now

4. ‘STRATEGY FIRST, SOLUTION SECOND’
Common drivers we see in higher education industry:
• Improvements – access to education, student
experience, student success, etc.
• Efficiencies – across the enterprise (IT), in
business processes, etc.
• Reductions – in cost mostly, but also in
complexity, in number of systems, etc.
• Information – data driven decision making.
All require change, anathema to higher education.

5. MAPPING OUT YOUR CAMPUS STRATEGY
• Your drivers
• Your differentiators
• Your applications
• Map investment to differentiators
• Look for efficiencies in ‘commodity’ functions
• It won’t be the same for every campus
• Make the plan relative

6. MANAGING CHANGE
Our approach to change management:
• Geared specifically to help manage organizational change and
customized to each campus.
• Designed as a holistic, integrated approach to change as it is woven
into every aspect of our overall implementation methodology.
• Powered by seasoned change agents who are solely higher
education focused and expert in technology change management.
• Designed to engage and transition key stakeholders at all levels in
the change process.

7. 4 THINGS YOU CAN DO NOW
