With respect to the college's information systems, there were three major challenges facing Ohio's Cincinnati Technical College (CTC) in 1991. The expanding use of personal computers (PC's) and non-integrated systems often duplicated efforts and data on CTC's existing computer systems, users were demanding more access to data and more integration of financial and registration systems, and the college's management information system (MIS) department began to be viewed as a barrier to progress rather than a source for solutions. To address these challenges, a team approach was undertaken with the establishment of a task force including representatives from all departments, areas, and levels of the college. The project was organized in three levels: a top-level Executive Systems Review Board for setting overall policy and making decisions on software and hardware, a second-tier implementation committee, and third-level sub-committees on data management and security, training, equipment conversion, and ancillary applications. As a result of the project, overall computer literacy at CTC has been greatly improved, the automated systems have been fully integrated, a network has been installed to provide all employees with access to data, communication among employees has been improved with the use of electronic mail, and the improvements have provided options for future development.
