The Vision

How can we achieve anytime/anywhere services, reduce back office work, and

also ensure that our end users will be able to use the

technology in the easiest fashion possible?


Portal?

A portal alone will not solve the unique challenges faced in the higher education technology environment.


From Portal to Platform

However, a portal combined with robust integration infrastructure and a suite of integrated applications can create a powerful platform that provides a customized digital campus to all institutional constituents.

Portal Options – Overcoming the Primary Obstacle

NSCC launched a Comprehensive Information Campaign:

• The CIO gave 12 formal presentations to the community (student classes, mgmt, all faculty)

• Surveys were distributed and results were disseminated back to the community

• End Result – Vote was almost unanimous to move forward (only 3 dissensions)


Implementation Questions

1. How would we rollout Pipeline?2. Who would receive Pipeline accounts?3. How would students activate their accounts?4. How would we integrate Pipeline e-mail?5. What account naming convention would we choose?6. What process modifications required to provide (24 x 7)

access?7. How would account activation errors be resolved?8. What SCT services would initially be enabled?
