Project Management for Higher Education

Strategic Leadership to Guide Complex Technology Implementations

Launching a new ERP or SIS system is one of the most significant — and complex — projects your institution will undertake. Success isn’t just about selecting the right software, it’s about managing the implementation with clarity, accountability, and a people-first mindset. 

At CampusWorks, our project managers do more than build timelines and track tasks — they lead transformative change across your institution. With decades of experience managing enterprise system projects in higher education, we understand how to align people, processes, and technology to ensure projects finish on time, within budget, and with full campus buy-in. 

Why CampusWorks Project Management Works 

Higher ed implementations are uniquely complex, involving dozens of departments, robust data, competing priorities, limited capacity, and high expectations. Our approach is designed specifically for this environment — with the flexibility, empathy, and accountability your institution needs to succeed. 

Here’s what sets us apart: 

• Seasoned Higher Ed Change Leaders
  CampusWorks project managers have led hundreds of ERP, SIS, and enterprise software implementations at colleges and universities nationwide. We know the landscape, speak your language, and anticipate what’s coming — from technical constraints to campus politics. 
• Strategic and Tactical Leadership
  We don’t just push tasks. We lead people. Our project managers are also trained change managers who engage stakeholders, navigate resistance, and ensure alignment — so your team isn’t just completing the project, they’re embracing it. 
• Cross-Functional Collaboration
  Successful ERP/SIS implementations require coordination across admissions, finance, IT, HR, academic affairs, and beyond. We activate cross-functional collaboration, ensuring every area is represented and integrated into the process — creating smoother adoption and fewer surprises. 
• Accountability Advocates for Your Institution
  We act as your trusted advisor and advocate, ensuring your software and implementation partners deliver what was promised. We hold vendors accountable while helping them succeed — so you get the fully realized solution you were promised, not a half-built compromise. 
• Relief for Overextended Staff
  Your team is likely already doing more with less. We minimize their burden by managing timelines, communication, and decision-making processes — while respecting their time, energy, and expertise. The result? Focused engagement, not burnout. 

Your Vision. Our Mission. 

CampusWorks project managers are committed to one thing: making sure your technology investment delivers on its promise. From kick-off to go-live, we manage every detail with clarity, deep expertise, and unwavering commitment to your success. 

And when the inevitable challenges arise — because they always do — we solve problems, build bridges, and keep your project moving forward with momentum and purpose.
