CAMBRIDGE, MA–August 7, 2001–Not all that long ago, four administrators at Campbellsville University were nearly at their wits' end; the installation of their then-current business software had not gone as planned.

It might even be fair to say that they could make neither head nor tail of it.

"The reports included with the product had not been configured," Maria R. Medley, Director of Information Services for Campbellsville, states. "We experienced high turnover in the Business Office. All reports were generated either through Microsoft Access or completed by hand. The Business Office was not able to provide timely reports to departments, Executive Staff, or the Board of Trustees. Also, the implementation project had gotten off track by one year."

Realizing that they needed to take action and quickly, Campbellsville established a fact-finding committee to explore alternative software options. In addition to Medley, the committee consisted of the Vice President for Finance and Administration, the Comptroller, and the Assistant Comptroller. "Employees from each administrative area (based on the modules being considered) were invited to attend the product demonstrations and share their thoughts," Medley observes. The President and Board of Trustees had final approval.

On May 23, 2001, Campbellsville selected 10 of the 18 modules that comprise the Jenzabar TEAMS Elite™ software.

"TEAMS Elite is a completely integrated product, designed for Higher Education use," Medley notes. "The ease of use of the software, the sales staff, and the company's commitment to our timeline aided the decision-making process."

On July 5, 43 days after contract signing, Campbellsville and Jenzabar personnel had the General Ledger, Purchasing, and Accounts Payable modules up and running!

Sounds as if this particular plan is on track.
