Performance Telerik UI Controls for building Win Form/Web Form/Mobile

apps

A day in the life of an ISA’er at Cy-Fair ISD• It is the day-to-day Support tasks that slow us down from advancing and

implementing best-practices architectures and technologies -

Outdated/Poorly written documents/procedures, Poorly written

programs/processes, Poorly Test/QA procedures, Poorly inter/intra

departmental communications that cause processes/data errors that require

our talented resources just to fix the errors in order to keep our day-to-day

business processes going

Had a great meeting with Kathryn Sanders, Tamera Huffman, Retina Eniquez, and Stefanie Bates on our Title 1

/ AESOP project. The objective is to increase the accuracy of paying using Title 1 grant money for campus staff

development and to save time for Tamera, Retina and Pattie Sanford. The project will utilize AESOP to charge

the correct budget code so Journal adjustment will no longer be a manual process for Retina and Pattie.

Reflection


John Crumbley, Director of Information Services and ApplicationsPosted by December 15 2017

John Crumbley

As I review the CETL material,

I find myself using the skills in

my daily conversations. This

week, I reflect on the cross

functional collaboration I

facilitated. I met with many

departments to discuss

various projects. Remaining

goal centered, and focused on

the project, we were able to

collaborate to a successful

completion. I am grateful for

the new skills and look for to a

greater implementation.

This week I reflected again

on how my Team makes

such an impact to Cy-Fair

with the programs they write

and with the process

improvements that save time

(which our customers love)

and money.

We are

Transforming Education
