As announced in April, the VSC is moving forward with a project to replace Ellucian Colleague, our Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. The scope of our work includes Colleague, UKG, and other software systems connected to Colleague. We are committed to transparency in communication throughout this project. These pages will be updated frequently, so check back for the latest project news.
A reminder of the reasons why this work is important and timely:
- The existing software infrastructure is not sustainable in the future, as identified in the consultant reports and given the industry’s migration to cloud software as a service.
- Colleague does not meet VSC business needs because it was not designed to accommodate multiple institutions.
- The current ERP solution does not meet the needs of either the system or the institutions within the VSC, including workflow management, the necessity for significant overrides and customizations, and numerous manual entry requirements.
If you have questions or feedback on the ERP project, please get in touch with VSC Chief Information Officer Kellie Campbell.
