<p>Despite the fact that they are wonderful, I don’t think the e-school students can design a cradle to grave Student Information System. SISs are huge. They cover every function from the time a person enters the UVa world as a prospect through their entire life. There’s a reason these systems cost a lot of money.</p>
<p>You seem to create these threads pretty regularly. Last time, a first year student said they didn’t have any problems with the SIS. As expected, those who were comfortable with ISIS are having a hard time transitioning. What’s funny to me is that ISIS was bad. It may have worked for you, but it wasn’t the best system for the University.</p>
<p>As one woman who has been at UVa for over 20 years told me “we had to get used to ISIS and we’ll get used to this, too.” Her world wasn’t rocked by the implementation. Those who only knew ISIS seemed to have a harder time with the transition.</p>
