Clackamas has been named one of two colleges in the nation to receive the Datatel Partners in Excellence Award for 2010. The award was made Tuesday during the Recognition Luncheon at the 2010 Datatel Users Group (DUG) Conference and Expo outside Washington D.C. Datatel makes the award each year to one two-year and one four-year client institution. Roanoke College of Salem, Virginia, was the four-year institution honored this year. Datatel is a computer software system used in higher education for registration, grading, billing, financial aid, payroll, accounting and records processing and other administrative functions. Clackamas has been a Datatel client since 1994. Datatel clients qualify for the Partners in Excellence Award by demonstrating exemplary collaboration with Datatel and a commitment to excellence in higher education. Award criteria include: active participation in the Datatel client community and sharing best practices; innovative IT practices and use of Datatel products; active involvement in the advancement of higher education issues; and leadership in providing quality services for faculty, staff, and students. Datatel called Clackamas a “showcase institution,” noting the college’s successful transition to a modern database technology that provides greater integration and reporting capabilities as well as the implementation of an internal portal system that provides integrated online services in a single website. Datatel recognized the work of CCC staff for sharing their experience with the software with other institutions. For more information, please contact Kim Carey at 503-594-0760.
