Strategic Systems Implementations

Effective enrollment services increasingly rely on the implementation of an array of technology systems. While the importance of providing on-line services to students is well understood, there is less understanding that successful implementation of new technologies depends on strategic planning, business practice review and revision, prioritization of system capabilities to be implemented, and development of an overall implementation plan. Institutions often fail to address one or more of these factors, resulting in loss of potential functionality, diminished return on system investment, and staff frustration. In the worst cases, the system implementation fails completely.

Through the comprehensive lens of strategic enrollment management, AACRAO Consulting assists institutions to implement systems effectively by:
• Introducing strategic enrollment management principles.
• Analyzing and enhancing the institution’s desired outcomes for EMASPro implementation.
• Conducting a high-level review of business practices, with recommendations for revisions that will align more effectively with the new system.
• Assisting in organizing and prioritizing implementation steps.
