Enterprise Collaboration: Two Colleges, One Shared System

Haverford and Bryn Mawr colleges have embarked on a multiyear partnership to build shared enterprise administrative systems that enable a seamless experience across the two institutions for students, faculty, and other community members. This presentation will focus on the successes, perceived benefits, challenges, and process enhancement recommendations from three completed joint implementation projects: PeopleSoft Student, Fischer Identity Management, and OneCard. We will describe the model for continued design, development, governance, and leveraging of shared enterprise services. Open discussion will explore lessons learned from this pioneering cross-institutional systems integration collaboration and learning from others engaged in similar cross-institutional projects.

OUTCOMES:
Describe and evaluate at least one model for developing and integrating shared enterprise systems across institutions * Investigate challenges and opportunities particular to cross-institutional project governance and management * Imagine ways of shaping such projects to yield maximum benefit to their institutions
