While our institutions are wanting to move ahead more aggressively, people in administrative computing seem to be falling further behind. The life cycle of the typical administrative computing project is still too long. Economic and demographic trends are virtually guaranteeing massive reengineering of higher education business processes and the obsolescence of the administrative applications that support them. We are at a time of unlimited opportunities and limited alternatives. It was in this context that a small but growing group of universities formed EXEMPLAR: A consortium for sharing best practice" administrative computing applications. This presentation is about EXEMPLAR. It tells about how EXEMPLAR was formed and, more importantly, how it is organized to facilitate the exchange of high quality software. The exchange of software, it turns out is a business process like any other that can be constantly improved. EXEMPLAR has as its core function, the enhancement and improvement of software sharing amongst member institutions."
