Datatel Colleague Chosen by Our Lady of the Lake College.

New ERP System Replaces Outdated Legacy Software

FAIRFAX, Va. -- Datatel([R]), Inc. today announced that Our Lady of the Lake College in Baton Rouge, LA, has selected Datatel Colleague[R] as its enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution. Colleague was chosen by the College after a thorough seven-month review of administrative systems in several institutions across six states.

"At the sites we visited, we were impressed by the enthusiasm for the Colleague solution shared by the staff, technical personnel, students, and faculty," stated Jim Davis, Our Lady of the Lake College chief information officer. "Our college has doubled enrollment in the past six years. As a result, our legacy system could not handle the volume and types of demands from our constituents for online services. Colleague will help us continue to be competitive in the health care education field."
