Drawbacks of the Old Process • Lost Forms • Time Consuming
Drawbacks of the Old Process • Difficult Tracking • Tedious Reporting
IRIS – The user friendly way IRIS – How it Works!!
Lost Forms • If uploaded to IRIS the form cannot get lost as it is stored in the server. • The form could be found using • PSID of Student • Date Submitted • Person who submitted it • Department it was submitted from • It is there forever Drawbacks Addressed
Time Consumption • Time to reach RAR is cut down significantly (electronic submission) • No need to create Excel sheets • Less auditing as College user is part of the process and forms are stored forever (Discrepancy Process) • Fast approvals (ticket bouncing) • Fact – IRIS has cut down the average time of processing forms from 15 days to below 3 days Drawbacks Addressed
Tracking • Status of form can be tracked by the college user by logging into IRIS • Answering calls and enquiries about form is an easy search • Notifications • IRIS notifies College user of the status of the forms that they submitted whenever the status changes • IRIS notifies the staff if the user adds additional files or comments on a form and also when they are assigned a form to be processed • IRIS notifies the administrators when a College user submits a discrepancy against a ticket Drawbacks Addressed
Reporting • IRIS reports the average processing time as well as the current number of pending forms with RAR • Helps in managerial decisions and organizing workforce • Report performance of department as well as employees • Dashboard Reporting is now in place too Drawbacks Addressed
IRIS was officially launched on May 17,2008 • IRIS was adopted college by college • By the end of July 2008 all the Colleges were using IRIS and RAR stopped accepting paper forms • IRIS is in continuous evolution since then and a lot of suggestions have been implemented • IRIS has helped process more than 250,000 forms till date and is used by 250+ users in the UH community The Facts
IRIS and Workflow • Out of the box and in the box • Transparent problems Lessons Learned
