Similarly, our virtualization compute hardware is EOL this summer and going on 8-9 years old. With the significant number of SaaS shifts we have seen in the past decade, we were able to significantly reduce the amount of compute resources; about a 40+ reduction in total. We still saw a price increase ...

RE: HIPAA Compliance Forms

Found In Egroup: Cybersecurity \ view thread
Hi Ron, A good starting point would be reviewing with your general counsel whether the forms are actually HIPAA or FERPA. Often I find staff confused on this front because their own personal experiences with HIPAA have led them to believe that if something involves health at all, HIPAA applies. ...

Shady, Like Todd, we have selected Oracle Cloud as our next-gen HRIS and financial system. Through the HESS Collective program for small private colleges, we implemented Oracle in a little over a year and have been pleased with the results so far. In our case we implemented finance as well. ...

We use campusM by Ex Libris. Based on our experience with the platform and vendor to date, I would not recommend them. Kevin Kevin Davis (he/him) Chief Information Officer 209 Ridge Road Box 5000 Davidson, NC 28035 704-894-2405 go.davidson.edu/ti

Melissa, I'm curious what overlap you end up finding in Atrium. We use them for one card and like them. I wasn't aware they had a housing product, that would be interesting if they do or are developing something? Kevin Kevin Davis (he/him) Chief Information Officer 209 Ridge Road ...

A bit belatedly to the conversation – I've been at institutions that are Transact and Heartland/TouchNet customers in the past. Our institution is an Atrium customer at present. I've been happier with the mix of technology architecture, modernity, flexibility and ease of use on Atrium vs the other solutions ...

Hey Sherri, Our process (and its limitations) are similar. College policy is crystal clear that all contracts for IT services and products must be reviewed by my office. Many divisions are very good at this, but some small to mid-size things slip through. The much bigger opportunity are those products ...

Apologies for the delayed reply. We had long had an EZProxy running on-premises and preferred to move to an XaaS approach. It turned out that NC's library services collaborative, NC Live (https://www.nclive.org/), offered EZProxy as a hosted service for a very low cost. We've moved in that direction ...

Hi Nathan, SoftDocs has been well received from our campus vs its predecessor, Hyland OnBase. For us it is mostly a digital file cabinet; we don't make much use of forms/workflow but the core product has been great. For us, Etrieve is an approved location for Confidential data under our data classification ...

Hi Sherri, The only other firm I talked to was Kalorama. They also seemed to be very experienced and capable. I seem to recall they quoted 8% fee but given Brander's growth they might be flexible on that. Kevin Davis (he/him) Chief Information Officer Davidson College Technology & Innovation ...
