Collaboration in Action: Uniting Functional and Technical Teams During Upgrades.

Successful system upgrades depend on more than technical execution — they rely on clear communication and collaboration across every level of IT and campus operations. From server teams and database administrators to developers, functional staff, end users and even students — keeping everyone aligned can make the difference between confusion and success.

In this session, we’ll share how our institution bridged the communication gap during a Campus Solutions upgrade. We’ll discuss the practical steps we take to engage key stakeholders early, keep campus offices and students informed, and ensure technical and functional teams worked together toward common goals.

Attendees will leave with shared strategies for improving collaboration, building shared understanding, and maintaining momentum throughout complex upgrade projects — regardless of product version or module.
