Operations Support
The California Community Colleges Technology Center’s grant administration office leverages technology to make the best use of resources for proper disbursement of grant funds and management of activities. Some of these include:
- Google Apps - for office documents and collaboration
- LaserFiche - all grant related records are meta-tagged and filed into an electronic document storage system for retrieval and audit purposes.
- Adobe Sign - for electronic signatures
- Trello - for Kanban-style project management
Continuing operations of mature initiatives are also funded through the CCC Technology Center’s grant administration office. Examples include:
- CENIC fiber optic network, supplying broadband internet to the colleges
- OpenCCC, the federated system wide student account
- CCCApply, the common application for admission
A SmartSheet work management and automation solution is being utilized to better optimize processes and improve tracking of purchase orders, contracts, and vendor payments.
In collaboration with the Butte College business office, we will explore the option of implementing a separate grant funds accounting system that will increase our ability to track funds, respond to audits, and increase accountability and efficiency.
