Industry Insights Session

The Pilot That Became the Playbook: How ULM Rebuilt Institutional Reporting from the Ground Up

When
Wednesday, September 30 | 2:15–3:00 PM MT
Where
Mile High Ballroom 2C, Lower Level

The University of Louisiana System set out to standardize reporting across campuses running very different technology stacks. It started as a single-campus pilot at the University of Louisiana at Monroe — a full rebuild of the data governance framework, with new reporting models for completers, census, the applicant funnel, and a cash-reporting blueprint.

What ULM built for itself became the template. This panel covers how one institution's focused investment turned into a governance approach that other campuses across the system are now adopting directly, and what it takes to make a pilot survive contact with a whole university system.

Speakers

  • Donnie Lynn — Associate Director of IT for Enterprise Applications, University of Louisiana at Monroe
  • Claire Norris — Vice President for Advancement, University of Louisiana System Office
  • Tim Henningsen — Senior Director, DataX, K16 Solutions
  • Josh Magdziarz — Senior Vice President, Product, K16 Solutions

The campus IT leader, system leader, and product leader behind the work discuss how one campus's rebuild became a system-wide asset.Mile High Ballroom 2C, Lower LevelJason Simmonsjason.simmons@k16solutions.comfalse30YYYY/MM/DD

Poster Session

One Pipeline, Two Problems: Enrollment Automation and Canvas Continuity at Texas Tech

When
Thursday, October 1 | 9:30–10:30 AM MT
Where
EDUCAUSE Commons, Enterprise Hub, Poster Area

Texas Tech was running Banner, Focus SIS for dual-enrollment students, and Canvas — three systems that had to agree with each other. Using Scaffold DataX, the team automated enrollment across all three, so registration syncs in real time and students land in their courses without anyone provisioning them by hand.

The same pipeline solved a second problem nobody set out to solve that day: an independent, continuously updated copy of Canvas data that keeps instruction running if the LMS goes down — and doubles as a reporting foundation. Stop by the poster for the architecture, the sequencing decisions, and what they'd automate first if they started over.

Speakers

  • Kasey Anthony — Managing Director, Texas Tech University
  • Tim Henningsen — Senior Director, DataX, K16 Solutions
