EX Implementation Blog Launched

A blog has been launched that will be used to communicate with the EMU campus community about all things related to the implementation of the Jenzabar EX system.

The Jenzabar EX Windows-based system will be the core electronic records system that will replace the current Jenzabar AS400-based system in February 2009. The seventeen month implementation effort began in September 2007 and involves all major operational units on campus: Registration, Business Office, Financial Aid, Student Life, Physical Plant, Admissions, Advancement, Human Resources and Information Systems.
