Community and technical college Board to consider vendor for
administrative computer applications migration project
OLYMPIA, Wash. – The State Board for Community and Technical Colleges will hold a special meeting via telephone conference on Wednesday, Sept. 2, at 10 a.m. to consider the approval of a project contract to update college administrative computer applications.
The college administrative computing systems are the core of operations at all colleges, supporting not only facilities, accounting, and human resources, but also student services, teaching, and learning. These systems are hosted on outdated Hewlett Packard 3000 servers and must be upgraded to new sustainable servers.
A vendor evaluation and selection team chose Speedware as the apparent successful vendor to convert the current COBOL systems to be compatible with modern UNIX servers. Speedware has a proven track record in migrating/converting HP3000 applications such as the college’s student, financial, and payroll/personnel systems to new hardware and is a Hewlett Packard HP3000 Platinum Partner.
Space will be available for the public session at the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges, Olympus Room, 403, 1300 Quince Street SE, Olympia.
