What happened to the Matrix implementation?
The original intent was to replace our existing Student Information System with a vendor product, Matrix, from SungardSCT Higher Education. Through the first five months of implementing Matrix, we encountered some significant issues with the product and the vendor. We discussed these with the vendor but were unable to resolve the issues. The Executive Sponsors, Executive Steering Committee, and Project Leadership Team thought that the institutional risk for the University was too great to continue with the Matrix implementation. In November 2006, Sungard SCT announced that there would be no new development of the Matrix product. Maintenance agreements with existing clients would be honored through 2014.
