9. Challenge #4: SIS Integration
Departmental users wanted Banner data in CRM but…
• Internal IT support roadblock = time delays
• Campus data stewards were resources but we are one of many on their task list
• Obtaining necessary permissions to pull data into CRM (took 3 months)
• Several conference calls between us, campus data stewards & Hobsons
• Programming time + setting up secure file transfers + testing = 9 months
Takeaway: users were frustrated by lack of progress resulting in loss of buy-in
13. Lessons Learned
1. Offer less large group trainings and more one-on-one consultations
2. Have at least three administrators at all times
3. Be creative to keep users excited
4. Hire and/or build capacity within your institution to manage the system
