Haverford eKuality Project

Haverford College is revolutionizing its financial management by replacing a 30-year-old legacy system with the state-of-the-art open-source Kuali Financial System (KFS). This initiative addresses the limitations of the outdated technology and provides enhanced budgeting, reporting, and operational capabilities. By choosing an open-source platform, Haverford minimizes licensing costs and fosters community collaboration. The project began in September 2011, with a go-live date planned for July 2012. Key project members include Mike Casel (executive sponsor) and project managers Spencer Golden and Kathi Ruffin.
