LegacyLink

LegacyLink Application

The LegacyLink application was made available to colleges as of June 30, 2023.

The old Legacy system will head off into the sunset on August 31, 2023, at 5 p.m. marking 42 years since the Washington Community College Computing Consortium (the W4Cs) first implemented and began supporting the Payroll/Personnel Management System (PPMS) back in 1981.   

Once the Legacy environments sunset, colleges will no longer have access to the Legacy system. 

What is LegacyLink?

LegacyLink is a read-only application developed to provide secure access to users to a limited subset of screens and batch reports needed to continue critical business.  The application includes replication of display-only access to screens and reports in:  

• Financial Management System (FMS)  
• Payroll/Personnel Management System (PPMS)  
• Student Management System (SMS)  

Please note, DataExpress will no longer be available as that product relies on the HP-UX platform.

Who can use LegacyLink?

Access is limited to authorized users.

Once user credentials are established by each college’s security administrator, LegacyLink will be available directly to authorized users at the ctcLink Gateway or directly at LegacyLink.

Both access points use ctcLink Okta for a secure connection.

The team continuously gathers input to assess feasibility of additions and plan for future revisions to LegacyLink.
