2006 Faculty/Staff Edition - Volume 3 > In the Queue
In the Queue June 2006University Business Portal: Think of it as a "virtual campus." Currently under development by NUIT Management Systems, a Web-based University Business Portal will provide a central point from which you can access a variety of administrative and academic services. The portal will provide easier and more direct access for Web-enabled services, and deliver self-service features directly to you. Completion of a pilot version is targeted for the end of summer. Active Directory and Web Access Management: In conjunction with NU Online Passport, NUIT is developing an authentication system that will let you access University Web sites based on individual attributes (e.g. employment or enrollment status, department, curriculum). This system, being developed by NUIT Information Systems Architecture in partnership with other NUIT units, will provide a foundation for development of the University Business Portal. It will result in time savings for everyday administrative functions, and will increase security by using identity attributes to permit or limit user access to applications and networks. CONDUITS Upgrade: Following a recent upgrade to CONDUITS Online, the system is now compatible with both Windows and Macintosh operating systems, and a new function allows departmental contacts to capture billing reports that they can schedule to run on a specified date. CONDUITS Online (Customer Oriented Network Delivering University Information Technology Services) is NUIT's Web-based system for accessing, viewing, tracking and generating billing reports for NUIT services. Customer Request System: Soon, you'll be able to find whatever kind of help you need from NUIT—all in one place. The Web-based Customer Request System, a first step towards development of a University-wide help desk, will incorporate two main functions: Support Request, an easy-to-navigate, "one-stop shop" where faculty, staff, and students can get information and submit online requests for NUIT support; and Change Request, to be used by pre-authorized technical support staff responsible for initiating, managing, and tracking system request activities associated with services managed by the NUIT Datacenter. Stay tuned for details. |
