The LMBR program aims to reform the DET's learning management and business systems to deliver better services, meet new demands, and address feedback that current systems are inefficient. The vision is to create informed people with secure access to trusted information, smart integrated systems, reliable standardized processes, and a single source of accurate information. Key challenges include change management, balancing school and system needs, training, maintaining momentum, and managing expectations while continuing daily operations. Current focus areas are completing five key pieces of work and launching a newsletter called SchoolBiz to communicate with schools.

Better Systems, Brighter Futures May 2011

2. LMBR: Why should we reform?
 Deliver better services to our students, parents, staff, community to meet
new demands and because of changing expectations
 Your feedback told us that many of the current systems were clunky and
didn’t meet DET business needs – it’s not just for replacing OASIS!
 Across the DET there are hundreds of disconnected technology
applications within the current Finance, Human Resources, Payroll, and
Student Administration and Learning Management systems
 We suffer from duplication of effort, inefficient and inconsistent manual
processes across, stand-alone applications and siloed data
 Current systems
are failing
