A Hands-On Approach to Implementation
A successful implementation is a highly coordinated collaboration. Your team best understands the school’s current data and administrative processes and Campus Cafe Software brings the expertise in software configuration, data conversion and project management. The main components to an implementation include project management, data conversion, software configuration and team training. Here’s what you can expect.
Project Management
Each customer is assigned a dedicated implementation project manager who manages a detailed, multi-step implementation plan. This is your go-to contact during the implementation and coordinates all the Campus Cafe team resources related to data conversion, software configuration and training.
Data Conversion
No matter what system you currently use, every school formats its data differently. Our data specialists will dedupe, scrub and reformat your legacy data, then utilize algorithms to convert and import it into the new system.
Campus Cafe Software Setup and Configuration
Our software is highly customizable to your operations. While we have many initial out-of-the box settings, our implementation team also helps you configure the key components like admissions forms, workflows and document requirements, billing rules, permissions, grade books and attendance, and financial aid workflows.
Third-Party Software Configuration
We connect to many third-party systems such as payment processing, texting and learning management platforms. We provide initial setup and configuration for all software that Campus Cafe Software supports.
In-Person and Remote Training
Campus Cafe's staff provide detailed onsite and online training for all your administrative staff. This is supplemented by our online knowledge base and on-demand trainings.
Process-Driven
Our consulting team makes every effort to reduce the stress, time and effort on your team during and after implementation. We developed a six-step process to implement your new SIS and quickly get your team up to speed.
