How do I share my insight? Common questions about the getting involved with the R3 Project

The R3 Project is a business transformation initiative that will retire the current Student Information System (GeneSIS) and the related portal (ACSIS). These will be replaced by a new Student Information System (SIS) as well as an updated learner portal respectively.

The other main purpose of the Project is to rethink and redesign Algonquin College’s Business Processes. We’ve also pulled in our College’s own Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to provide feedback and guidance throughout this review.

As we implement a new SIS, we now have the opportunity to rethink how we work, redesign our processes, and reimagine how we serve and interact with our learners.

Today, we’ve compiled five commonly asked questions about the R3 Project that we hope will bring you clarity on how you can get involved:

My colleagues and I are concerned that we will be missed in this Project. Who can we speak to about our department and what we do?

There will be many opportunities for involvement throughout the R3 Project. Our Change Champion Network represents General SIS Users, while our Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) continue to provide their input on the SIS implementation and re-assessing and re-designing of our Business Processes through our Working Groups.

Meanwhile, Core SIS Users will have the opportunity to review the Business Processes once they’ve been finalized and up for review before implementation. Lastly, General and Core SIS Users will receive role-based training for the new SIS.

Talk with your Change Champion for any questions or feedback and they can bring it to our R3 Project team.

The College community is invited to attend the Showcase Events where Project updates are provided and includes a live Q&A.

Who determines the people who will be testing the system? How do we volunteer?

Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) are being identified based on elements of the Thesis system requirements, and SMEs are asked and encouraged to identify who they think would be best to participate in testing. Once a testing plan is created and ready to be shared, a call for testing volunteers will occur throughout the future Project Phases.
