关于ctcLink
The ctcLink project is the implementation of a centralized system to give faculty, students, and staff access to modern functionality and a more efficient way to conduct 业务. The PeopleSoft Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system will provide an integrated software experience that will streamline many of our 业务 过程es on a standardized 平台 at all 34 community and technical colleges in Washington 状态.
In ctcLink implementation, conversion and validation refer to the 过程 of loading 将现有遗留系统的数据传输到PeopleSoft. 转换过程包括 identifying the data that must be brought to the new system, mapping the data to PeopleSoft fields, translating old codes into PeopleSoft codes, and finally loading the clean, 兼容数据导入PeopleSoft.
This project is being led by SBCTC's project team and they have been working hard to configure the system to work across all the colleges.
The various ERP modules will cover our core 过程es like registration, course management, payroll, human resources, financial aid, financial services, and reporting. 一旦实现, 所有的学生和员工都将使用这个新系统.
目前进展:
Three pilot colleges (Spokane Community College, Spokane Falls Community College, and Tacoma Community College) went live with ctcLink in August 2015. 经历了一段坎坷之后 start, ctcLink has gone through multiple rounds of improvement and upgrade.
皇冠8868会员登录 Valley College is on track to go-live with our ctcLink configuration on February 8, 2021 (for employees) and February 22, 2021 (for students).
Our current administrative systems (SMS, FMS, and PPMS) are outdated. 华盛顿州 Community and Technical Colleges implemented the existing system in 1979. 经过 40 years, these systems present a serious failure risk. 数据库和报告 不再支持正在使用的工具. Considerable effort is needed to keep this antiquated system operational and this effort continues to grow and become more expensive every 一天. There is no ability to improve or upgrade this system.

财政援助制度(FAS/FAM): The 金融援助 System that currently administers and manages financial aid services. 这将过渡到PeopleSoft 校园方案(CS).
财务管理系统(FMS): The Financial Management System that currently administers and manages financial 会计服务. 这将过渡到PeopleSoft 财务管理(FIN).
薪资/人事管理系统(PPMS): The Payroll/Personnel Management System that currently manages the human resources 以及工资处理服务. 这将过渡到PeopleSoft 人力资本管理(HCM).
学生管理系统: The Student Management System that currently administers and manages all student 与课程相关的业务功能. 这也将过渡到PeopleSoft 校园方案(CS).
一些3rd party softwares or homegrown applications that use the data from these back-end systems 在这个过程中也会被替换吗. 这些包括但不限于学位 Audit, Instructor Briefcase and TLR (time and leave reporting).
The reporting 工具 (DataExpress/By Request) will be replaced by PeopleSoft reporting 工具. Each college will identify and train a core group of subject matter experts (SMEs) to work with the SBCTC and other colleges to develop the required reports. 工作人员 and faculty will have access to run reports as required by their assigned duties.
Because the ctcLink implementation will only convert a small window of data, access 将提供给遗留数据. 这将如何工作的细节尚不清楚 此时此刻.
The ctcLink implementation plan is to convert all enrollment data for any active student 在六年内(2019年10月之前). 人事和工资数据将 只在前两年被转换.
The legacy system will be put into read-only mode and will be available through the legacy software for a time that is yet to be determined. 而工作人员可以进入 to the data after Go Live, they will be unable to alter it in any way. 当所有的大学 have been migrated (targeted for 2022) and the new system is stabilized, the legacy 系统将日落. The legacy data will be available, however, through as 尚待确定的报告方法.
It depends on your role at the college – if you use the current Legacy system (such as FMS, SMS, PPMS or FAM), you will learn an entirely new system and 过程 for inputting 在网上获取信息. 那些不使用现行制度的人 basis will see changes too, such as the addition of online workflows for certain tasks and, for everyone, the added benefit of new, online 工具 to access and manage personal 记录.
