WHY DID FOOTHILL NEED TO DESIGN SUCH A SYSTEM?

• Current SIS software unable to support this data
  
• field limitations
• no interest in building something onto SIS since
  it is due to be replaced
• Incompatibility with a Filemaker Pro upgrade
  prompted a mandatory change
• Data are transferable to future systems when/as
  needed

WHAT DID WE HAVE?

• Data data everywhere, but where is the
  information I need?
• some data only accessible by one person
• some data in print version only
• hand written!
• only available if you knew the right person and
  they remembered where they placed it

  find without spending thousands of dollars on a
  proprietary SQL
