| Abstract: | Successful strategies for implementing and operating the Further Education Management Information System (FEMIS) at colleges of further education in the United Kingdom are discussed, along with the development of associated microcomputer-based decision support systems. FEMIS has been targeted at the smaller institutions that do not generally have management information systems. A major aim of FEMIS has been to monitor the performance of institutions to demonstrate to funding agencies that they are cost effective. The relationship of the instigator of the development of the system to other key managers is a significant factor in the success or failure of the venture. Types of instigators are identified (e.g., local education agency management, college administrator, computer center staff), and typical scenarios involving each type of instigator are included. Procedures instituted at the Dorset Institute of Higher Education (DIHE) to promote usage of data by college managers are also described. It took about 4 years to fully integrate the FEMIS database within DIHE's infrastructure. (SW) |
