Project Ensemble represents significant opportunities to leverage new cloud technology. In just a few months, we will have implemented many of the modules seen here and by the end of 2019, almost all will have been implemented. Our institutions will all benefit from modern cloud technology, three colleges implementing together and extensive process redesign.
