SPOL has been an invaluable tool in the creation, monitoring, and success of Three Rivers’ Strategic Plan, Coordinated Budgeting, Outcomes Assessment, and Accreditation Compliance. Without SPOL, the college would not have been able to implement an ongoing system for planning, outcomes assessment, budgeting, and accreditation that was truly meaningful and a ‘living’ system. SPOL has been the catalyst that has made our system work the way it should and is one of the major keys to our success.
Wesley Payne, Ph.D.
President
SPOL has helped the University of Mount Olive integrate the flow of planning and budgeting information into a system that truly informs our strategic planning process and supports our continuous organizational effectiveness and accreditation compliance efforts. The communication channels SPOL affords as a part of its integration has been the key to our success as we have grown from a small college to the medium-sized, geographically distributed private college we are today (six locations, three schools, nine administrative units and over fifty workgroups). SPOL has most recently allowed us to respond to our new administration, serving as a highly adaptable tool for adjusting budgets, associated planning objectives, and organizational workgroup shifts. Customer support is top-notch!
