The Process Alignment Workgroup (PAW) is a team approach for bringing colleges together to align local business processes and standardize global best practices in ctcLink.

WACTC endorses and will help enforce the principle that when a common business process can be implemented system-wide, it should be. Moved and seconded that the college consortium embraces and follows uniform processes and relies on PeopleSoft-delivered functionality without customization as much as possible.

From the comprehensive list of improvement initiatives, the following topics are attributed to the Process Alignment Workgroup effort:

• Establishing single processes across the system is critical to system improvements.
• Implement “best practices” within and across the system.
• Use delivered PeopleSoft functionality to the greatest extent possible, reducing complexity in CEMLIs (Configurations, Extensions, Modifications, Localization, Interfaces) and eliminating CEMLIs .
