Business process redesign, or reengineering, is a natural part of sought after improvements in the day-to-day work environment. The mandate to complete this routine may come during or well after the implementation of the system. In the world of financial aid, this may be much more frequent due to the constant changes in the regulations linked to the distribution of aide to students.
SDC is an excellent choice for a solid partnership in facilitating the discussions surrounding the analysis and design of your institution's workflows.

Training programs are usually one of the first areas to receive the ax when budget constraints are encountered. Unfortunately, the lack of training at any phase of a project is one of the quickest ways to turn a very successful project into one of the most unsuccessful. Training objectives should always focus on the specific needs of each division within the organization, while keeping in sight the overall goals of the institution.
At SDC, we provide an opportunity for colleges and universities to explore a wide variety of options to expand the knowledge of its staff and administrators. Whether it's instructor-led, web-based, seminars on demand, or tutorials, we are here to share the information in the format that best fits your requirements.

Support
For each institution, the needs for Oracle/PeopleSoft requirements vary. In some instances, the support needs are for extremely short periods of time to longer term project prerequisites. SDC offers support in the areas of implementation, production, and even back office.
Whether on-site or remote, we have the solution for your institution.
Training
Training continues to remain as one of the most overlooked functions within the work environment. When this area is skipped during the implementation, or post-implementation phase, it guarantees an increase in employee frustration and lost productivity.
We offer custom implementation team training and/or end user training. Training delivery options include instructor led, web based, seminars on demand, as well as tutorials.
Communications
Have internal requirements for communications, including Communication Generation? We can assist you with those needs with email messaging or standard print options for mailing.
Need assistance with PS Query? We are here to collaborate with you on this as well.
Redesign
In many instances, offices realize there is a need to retool the system to meet new process mandates. This may occur in the midst of an implementation or well into the production life-cycle. No matter the time frame, we are available to facilitate these discussions and provide the desired recommendations on how best to move forward.
Special Projects
There are always those moments when a special project comes up, and internal staffing resources are limited or consulting expertise is warranted. SDC is your 'go to' source for the development of the functional specifications, vetting, and testing of processes to move your project from a basic thought to a viable documented concept, and finally into production.
