Have you struggled trying to get the right information from another area? Have you identified processes made by others that you should made on your own because of lack of collaboration? Have you seen how other areas follow their own standards or none standard whatsoever? You already realize bad data quality effects but feel can do anything about it? There is often a difficulty when two or more different areas share information or procedures. In this session we will share the success story of a data quality and standards project, made between the "Advancement and Development" and "Registrar and Admissions" Directions. We will share our methodology, our lessons learned, our key factor to success and the benefits of such a collaborative initiative to the institution.
