Launched in January 2007, MICA Connected is a multi-year technology initiative designed to bring people, information and services together through innovative technology. This strategy is composed of three related projects:
- MICA's web redesign
- Upgrades of MICA's Administrative Systems
- Building new models for supporting technology
The first phase of will be completed in November 2007 and includes upgrades to Oracle’s PeopleSoft Campus Solutions 9.0, HRMS 9.0, and Enterprise Portal 9.0. An upgrade to Oracle's PeopleSoft Financials 9.0 and the launch of a new www.mica.edu web presence are milestones of phase two and will be completed by August 2008. The final phase of the initiative expands on earlier efforts by bringing other applications, processes and technologies into the college's vision of a unified web presence -- where communities and services cohesist within an innovative framework.
