Welcome

Welcome to the Office of Administrative Computer Applications (ACA) at Morehead State University. ACA is the administrative service unit responsible for supporting MSU's enterprise resource planning (ERP) system.

In 2005, MSU partnered with Datatel, Inc., to replace its former AIMS administrative computing system. AIMS was used for 22 years to automate academic and administrative processes at the institution.

A goal was established to "Select and replace the current administrative system with an integrated information technology solution that will enable on-going improvements in business and service processes throughout the institution."

After a detailed search, Datatel, Inc.'s Colleague system was selected. The institution has come a long way in the past three years implementing a number of Colleague applications including:

Budget Viewing (live July 3, 2006)
Purchase Requisitions (live July 3, 2006)
Curriculum (live November 2006)
Human Resources/Payroll (live January 1, 2007)
UG/GR Admissions (live January 18, 2007)
Financial Aid (live March 26, 2007)
Registration (live April 9, 2007
Accounts Receivables and Cash Receipts (live July 2, 2007)

To further enhance business practices, MSU has partnered with several additional vendors as part of the ERP replacement including:

Aquire - organization charts
iStrategy - business reporting
CollegeNet R25 - facilities management
Source4 - system printing
NovusHR - online job search/applicants
SchoolDude - physical plant workorders
Datatel, Inc. - ActiveAdmissions
Datatel, Inc. - ActiveAlumni
Datatel, Inc. - ActiveCampus Portal
Microsoft, Inc. - FRx

Much work remains, but the future is bright!
