  10. Longer Term Roadmap • Program Audit • Longer term plan is to develop our own • Since Enrollment depends on Degree Audit, interim strategy is to integrate with a 3rd party product(s) • U.Achieve (“DARS”) will be the first 3rd party product to be integrated with Enrollment • UW MyPlan has already been integrated with U.Achieve • Scheduling • Enrollment depends on Scheduling • Plan is to integrate with 3rd Party Scheduling System

  11. Longer Term Roadmap • Admissions & Financial Aid • Significant interest from most institutions • KS Board is actively discussing solution options, including • KS developing its own from scratch or by leveraging existing products/intellectual property • A high-level product strategy will likely be available in 2013 • Stay Tuned… If you have an interest in these modules, please contact KS

  18. Enrollment Status • Thin slice (“Core Slice”) of Enrollment was completed in 2011 • Resulted in foundational design for the large body of Enrollment • We are now 9 months into developing Enrollment • Frequent releases via deep dive into a functional area at a time • Delivered • Setup:: Academic Time Periods, Registration Appointments • People and Permissions: Manage Populations

  20. Changes to Enrollment Roadmap 2011 2012 • Enr 1 in 2014 (3 years later), Enr 2 afterwards • Enr 1 will be the basics of Enrollment, Enr 2 will be the vision • Enr 1 product strategy was “Broad versus Deep” • To be developed by 5 Parallel Teams • An implementable release of Enrollment every year • Course Offering in 2013 • Course Registration in 2014 • Each Release is a deep-dive into a Functional Area

  21. What Does This Mean For KS Community? • An implementable Release each year • Enrollment Release schedule is meant to reflect a logical implementation sequence: CM -> Course Offering -> Course Registration -> … • Institutions should begin implementing CM first

  22. Drivers of Change • Feedback from Institutions that Enr 1 will not be enough functionality for an institution to implement Enrollment till Enr 2 (2015+) • AKS report recommended we have more frequent Releases focused on a functional area at a time, Releases which are implementable versus “erector set of functionality”

  23.
