Hi Pam,
We adopted Sonia about 4 years ago and have been mostly satisfied with the system for our needs. I am curious to know if you received quotes for all of the databases you are looking at currently, as Sonia just increased our cost by about 30%. I've answered below but am happy to answer other questions you might have (klakos.2@osu.edu)
What is the most prevalent complaint about the field data base system you use from:
students? no significant complaints
faculty? wanting to betting understand the back end of sonia so that they can do things like clear signatures. With this, they are also not necessarily interested in being trained.
community supervisors? How to make the most use of their site in Sonia to attract students. It is difficult to request students since a placement request must be entered for each cohort of students.
If you could go back in time to the onboarding process, what would you tell yourself to focus most of your energy on? I would better prepare our team for the amount of time it took to get Sonia up and running for what we need.
