Great Plains Functions
Great Plains eEnterprise is a financial management system. This system maintains the past, current and future projections for the continued growth of our College.  Dynamically produced reports aid the management officers and staff to make sound and productive decisions throughout the campus.

The FRx Financial Reporting System integrates with Great Plains to provide dynamically produced budget analysis and financial statements.   These reports keep the Board of Trustees and financial officers at an "up to the minute" position as to the status of the college's financial picture.
