Overview of the System

The University of Arizona's Kuali system is designed to interconnect the various applications into a single workable solution. At the heart of this transformation was to eliminate the bureaucracy in their departments. The way that the program achieved these objectives was to carefully examine how it is: embracing decision making, improved levels of communication and accounting for their financial projections. In the case of the University of Arizona, this was having a positive outcome in their cost structure and how it was an eliminating the existing amounts of bureaucracy. These elements are important, because the combination of them is what helped the university to accept the changes. This is the point that they were able operate more efficiently and reduce costs. (Hollwaman, 2011) (McNeally, 2011)

Implementation

The implementation of this system must occur early on with gradual increases until they are fully realized. They way that this would take place is with different applications for Kuali uploaded. This means that the university will graudally implemented training and support to everyone. As executives were working with: the various departments and staff members to build the up their knowledge. Once this occurs, is when everyone will be able to easily understand each aspect of the program. This is the point that the overall levels of communication would improve. Over the course of time this will have a positive impact on the organization itself. (Hollwaman, 2011) (McNeally, 2011)

Re-evaluation

To effectively evaluate the program requires understanding that officials must have a certain amount of patience. This means that they must realize how it long will take for everyone to begin using all of the applications. The reason why is because this software is specifically designed with applications for each department. When they are being implemented, there is the possibility that some departments will take longer in training. This is important, because it is showing how there is an effective system. For evaluating, the overall scope of the decisions that are being made. However, after a stated amount of time is when everyone will become friendly with all of the applications. This is when you would want to be evaluating the effectiveness of these changes. These different elements are important, because they are illustrating how the Kuali protocol can study and improve upon these transformations. (Hollwaman, 2011) (McNeally, 2011)
