Success Factors: Process & Policy NC WISE is more than new technology — it is a new way of operating. • School and LEA-level business processes WILL need to change to take full advantage of NC WISE functionality. For example: • Teachers input data directly into the program. • UERS has people of varying roles involved in the approval process. • Procedures for scheduling must be completed before the end of June. • Training is ongoing as new people are brought on board and software changes are made. • Going from a few people who ran SIMS to many people who will now have access to data with NC WISE • Policies must be adjusted to support effective operations with NC WISE. • Upgrading grades and attendance • Security • Data requirements for audits • Access to information • ENFORCING new processes and policies is the most challenging part !
