Moving to SaaS brings plenty of questions—and for Argos users, one of the biggest is: What happens to the DataBlocks, reports, and dashboards we’ve already built?
Join Evisions’ JD Hysler, Senior Colleague Consultant, and Brian Renaldo, Account Executive for Professional Services, for a conversational look at what institutions should consider when preparing their Argos reporting environment for a move to SaaS. Drawing from a real-world DataBlock conversion proof of concept, JD will share practical lessons, common challenges, and tips for evaluating existing reports, identifying hidden dependencies and customizations, converting SQL, and testing along the way. The concepts discussed apply to institutions working with both Colleague and Banner SaaS environments.
Whether your team plans to tackle the work internally or could use additional expertise and resources, you’ll leave with a better understanding of what to expect and how to begin developing a strategy for your own SaaS reporting transition.
You will learn how to:
- Assess existing DataBlocks before beginning a conversion.
- Identify custom tables, views, variables, filters, and other dependencies that may need attention.
- Prepare for SQL and data-source differences in a SaaS environment.
- Avoid common conversion challenges through documentation and testing.
- Determine where additional resources or expertise may help support their migration strategy.
