We Built, We Bought, We Shared: The Costs of Administrative Service Systems vs. the Academic Mission

This panel will bring to life lessons learned from alternative approaches to managing the costs of ERP implementations, including building your own in the modern era, buying and implementing in smarter ways, implementing SaaS alternatives, and joining a higher education consortium that shares processes and software development. We will also address the leadership opportunities for finding ways to minimize the costs of administrative systems so our institutions can invest in our core missions-teaching and learning, service, and research.
