$10.6 Augmentation Needed to Scale CVC Exchange. CVC engaged an external consulting firm (Higher Digital) to evaluate the product strategy and implementation methodology. Per Higher Digital's recommendation, improving and scaling efforts for the CVC Exchange will require additional professional services from a current external consulting firm (Unicon), including additional project management capacity to increase the simultaneous number of implementations, and assessment with periodic review of the CVC Exchange product ecosystem by an enterprise architect. Without additional ongoing funding from the $10.6M augmentation, the ability to further scale will be negatively impacted and other products or services will need to be removed from the CVC portfolio to cover cost overage.

$10.6 Augmentation Needed for Licensing Costs from Vendors. The CVC budget was historically developed with a limited maximum allocation for licensing the current search and enrollment (Quottly) functionality of the CVC Exchange. Due to increased number of deployments and rising licensing costs, CVC requires additional funding to sustain/expand the CVC Exchange to meet scaling needs. Without additional ongoing funding from the $10.6M augmentation, the ability to further scale will be negatively impacted and other products or services will need to be removed from the CVC portfolio to cover cost overage.

College Decision to Opt-Out. Some colleges still believe they have the option of opting out of participation in the CVC Exchange. The Chancellor’s Office memo addressed the need for all colleges to participate; however, without regulatory requirements in place, some colleges still view participation as voluntary or low-priority. Some incentivization from the Chancellor’s Office may be needed to achieve Home College readiness for all colleges.

Ellucian Ethos Product Gaps. Ethos product gaps introduce limiting factors for the implementation of automated cross-enrollment (Teaching College) at some multi-college districts, due to the inconsistent deployment of Ethos and the requirement that configuration work be fully tested and complete before Teaching College implementation work can begin.

Open CCC Proxy. Students from a subset of colleges with an incomplete or non-existent setup (i.e., missing SAML attributes) with the Open CCC Proxy will not be able to cross-enroll as they will be unable to authenticate through the CVC Exchange. Students from this subset of colleges do not pass the required attributes and are not caught by the CCC Technology Center’s Open CCC Proxy trap. CVC continues to work with the CCC Technology Center and impacted colleges to test functionality and address individual setup issues.

Inconsistent Deployment & Data Practices for Systemwide Technologies. Inconsistencies in deployment and data available via other systemwide technologies directly impacts the ability for the current vendor solution to integrate with existing systemwide infrastructure in a reliable manner. This serves as a risk for not only effective scaling of implementation but also maintenance of the platform once deployed.
