SCT Banner Technical
Coral Lounge II (H) T730 SQL is often the quickest and most flexible way to retrieve information
from the Oracle tables underlying Banner. It also forms the basis for most
reporting software, which often allows the user to edit the SQL that the
software generates. This session will help a user with no previous
experience using SQL understand the way that SQL works and learn how to
create and edit simple SQL scripts. Beginning with a basic "SELECT FROM
WHERE EQUALS" script, this session will then discuss other comparison
operators such as IN, NOT IN, LIKE and NOT LIKE. The use of EXISTS and NOT
EXISTS will also be shown. Bob Marr, Senior Data Analyst, Michigan Tech Fund A Culture of Accountability [464]

306 B (CC) M1100 How is your institution responding to increased demands for accountability?
Can you prove your institutional effectiveness? Are faculty documenting
student learning outcomes? Is assessment a critical activity on your
campus? In this session, the external pressures affecting academic
assessment processes on your campuses will be examined, and a model for
aligning assessment efforts will be proposed. Peggi Munkittrick, Product Manager, SunGard SCT A Leader's Learning Agenda [379]
All Solutions Common Interest Topics
320 (CC) M730 There are certain roles, skills, and abilities required for campus leaders
to be successful. These characteristics will be reviewed with the
audience. Participants will be asked to (individually) assess their
performance in these crucial areas. A key element of this session is the
identification of pitfalls that must be avoided as one moves up in an
organization. The session is targeted to mid- and higher-level managers
and directors who wish to have a positive impact within their campus and
beyond. The content will describe a "learning agenda" for campus
representatives who are in, or aspire to, positions of greater
responsibility and influence. Larry Goldstein, President, Campus Strategies A Leap to Banner in 18 Months [301]
SCT Banner LEAP
Coral Lounge I (H) W900 Northwest Missouri State University leaped to Banner in 18 months without
conversion kits and with very little conversion consulting help. In most
ways we found that the SCT Banner project was like working with a totally
different vendor than the one we knew as our SCT Plus vendor. Of course
the Oracle database software was a new and very different environment.
Since Northwest had a mandate not to modify any purchased code there were
expectations that that many business practices would have to be modified to
fit Banner. This hasn't been the case and efforts were completed to build
peripheral modules to continue old business practices. In most cased they
were justified to keep student and alumni friendly processes. Jon Rickman, VP of Information Systems, Northwest Missouri State
University; Girija Chavala, CIS Manager, Northwest Missouri State
University; John Clayton, Co-Project Manager, Northwest Missouri State
University A Look Inside eLearning Integration [522]

SunGard SCT A Real-time Data Exchange Solution [669]
Partner Solutions
309 (CC) T730 Last year, a solution for real-time data exchange between the WebCT Vista
academic enterprise system and SunGard SCT student information systems was
announced. The solution dramatically eases customers' administrative
burdens, fosters scalability, and gives students seamless access to their
important campus systems. SunGard SCT achieves the integration with its
Luminis Data Integration Solution for e-Learning. In this session,
attendees will hear about the benefits of the SunGard SCT and WebCT Vista
integration. We will discuss how real-life institutions, including Marshall
University, are reaping the efficiencies and effectiveness that real-time
data exchange can deliver, including automatic class roster assembly and
grades transfer Jose Cabrera, Senior Director Strategic Alliances, WebCT; Allen Taylor,
Director IT Research Planning & Standards, Marshall University A Student's History At-a-Glance [478]
SCT Matrix Common Interest Topics
326 B (CC) T730 As it implemented its Matrix SSS 2.4.3 module this last year, the
University of Chicago needed to accommodate its policies of tracking and
administering a large and diverse population of doctoral students. Because
of the unique nature of these policies, a customized solution was designed
to be integrated with the Matrix SSS product. This solution allows all
University students, not just doctoral students, to be tracked on a term by
term basis, from the point of application through graduation, with detailed
coding on their statuses each term. As the first client to go-live with
Matrix SSS, the University of Chicago's customization of its "Term Record"
provides an example to other clients of how the product can be enhanced. Andrew Hannah, Sr. Assoc. Univ. Registrar, University of Chicago A Top Down Approach to e-Procurement [670]
Partner Solutions
318 A (CC) M730 This session will identify ways for finance and procurement professionals
to have a profound influence on the way procurement is done on campus,
resulting in large savings as well as advancing customer service for
faculty, staff and researchers. It will speak to the difficulties of
influencing change, particularly automation, on a campus environment and
the ways that technology could be used as a "carrot" and not a "stick". It
will also show how senior executives can play a meaningful role in making
the automation initiative successful, and how senior managers can use that
support to effect positive change. Finally, it will speak to how automation
can be used to further strategic goals, including better spend management,
reporting, analysis and information sharing. Dorrian Porter, Vice President-Higher Education, SciQuest; Tim Gibney, Asst
Vice President Procurement Services, University of Notre Dame ABC's of PowerFAIDS Report Writer [611]
