LASR Project
March, 2003
The project is on schedule and within budget.
PRE-PRODUCTION DATABASE
Computer Services has established a pre-production database for Lane
staff to begin building the Lane Banner system. This area will be used
for testing the system set-up prior to going live in a production database,
and the Finance and Human Resources teams are working in this database
now. The training database will continue to be used by the Student
and Financial Aid teams as they do the early work of learning about Banner.
FINANCE
The Finance Team has entered Lane's chart of accounts in the pre-production
database. Most of the individual meetings with college departments have
taken place. Accounts Payable has cleaned up Lane's current vendor list,
and will enter the vendor information into the Banner pre-production
database within the next two weeks. Purchasing has completed the
research phase of developing the purchasing system and will present findings
to the Finance Team next week. The budgeting area is working on
approval queues and security. The Grants area had their training
the week of February 18 and is beginning work on defining the structure
that will support Lane's grants and contracts. The Finance Team is also
working on defining user roles and identifying how Banner functions will
support the information and functional needs of users. The next configuration
visit will focus on developing interfaces between Banner Finance and
the rest of the college administrative information systems, which will
still be on the COCO system. The Finance ėgo liveî date is July
1, 2002.
HUMAN RESOURCES
The Human Resources Team completed their fourth series of three-day
configuration sessions on February 27. They have built
the rule and validation tables for the applicant tracking, job
classes, positions, salaries, leave, and benefits and deductions
in the pre-production database. They are now working on entering
the 100 test employees in preparation for Payroll training, scheduled
for early March. During this training, they will begin running
test payroll processes. The Banner HR System will be fully implemented
and ready for use by all College employees on January 1, 2003.
STUDENT
The Student Team has completed its second week of training the week
of February 18. This session covered Catalog, Schedule and Location
Management. This team meets weekly and has identified four sub-teams
to begin working on the following specific areas:
- General Student
- Catalog and Schedule
- Credit and Non-Credit Integration
- Location and Room Scheduling
PRODUCTIVITY SOFTWARE
Part of the LASR budget is for the purpose of purchasing additional software
that works with Banner to enhance functionality. On February 25, approximately
35 Lane staff members, including the LASR Implementation Management Team
(LIMT), attended a demonstration of the Schedule/Resource 25 software. This
product optimizes the scheduling of facilities, so that the college can make
better use of available space. The software can be used to manage scheduling
of events and meetings as well as classes. LIMT will review the responses
from attendees and make a decision within the next two or three weeks.
