How to Use the Kuali Financial System (KFS) to Best Advantage

Wooo hoooo! Version 3.0 of the Kuali Financial System (KFS) has been released and is now available to every educational institution, everywhere in the world! What an incredible accomplishment for the Kuali Community. Not only have they produced the best community-source financial system on the market, they've produced the best financial system available for higher ed today, period!

Now that KFS is available to all, the staff here at rSmart wants to help you take advantage of its great flexiblity and power. We've already been working on KFS for more than four years—pitching in to help develop the product, providing services to KFS early adopters, and providing ongoing support. We've learned a tremendous amount about KFS along the way, and so—in the spirit of community—we're eager to share that knowledge with anyone who cares to read this blog. So here we are.

Our KFS experts expect to add a new post to this blog once every two weeks or so. Except for this introductory message, each post will contain information you're not likely to find anywhere else—tips on how to make the flexibility of KFS work for you, approaches that have been successful for the early adopters, warnings about avoiding mistakes we've made, and so on. Some of the advice will be technical, some will be functional, and all of it will be useful.

I'm just here for the blog kickoff. From now on, you'll be hearing from the experts.
