Currently the Budget process is manual and because of this causes much stress for the staff the compiles the data, and much frustration of the budget heads of each dept because they submit their budget requests in February and have no knowledge of its status until early September when it is uploaded into Banner.  This causes much frustration to everyone in the college community.  By automating the budget process we can have a better method of communicating to the college budget managers and their supervisors the status of the budget and what changes where made at the time they are made.  Also this will allow the Business Office to do better planning  and save staff time of data entering all budget requests made by each department.
