Debugging the Conversion Process: Lessons from an Administrative Information System Conversion.
Hibbler, Fritz; Mitchell, Linda
Business Officer, v29 n4 p32-35 Oct 1995
The process of reengineering the administrative information system at the University of Idaho required careful planning, development of a set of philosophies, and several strategies for ensuring success. The latter included a humorous symbol (a jitter bug) to express concern, improved institutional communications, and a focus on logistical issues. Problems that arose and lessons learned are discussed here. (MSE)
