This project implemented an “all-in-one virtual career center” called Elevate (by uConnect software) which is used by the Student Engagement Division (Career Services, Campus Life, and Residence Life). Elevate integrates existing student engagement and career center resources and services into one platform, to deliver custom and relevant information to our students. It displays content in the form of a calendar of events, up-to-date articles, and more. This product addressed segmented resources such as Handshake, Suitable, VMock that are utilized by students but exist in separate pages, thereby making resources more difficult to find. Student Engagement's goal was to bring Career Services, Campus and Residence Life, and partner offices into one digital space.

This project will provide an enhanced level of security to accessing technology used at the university, and will make a much more streamlined onboarding and offboarding process for faculty, staff, students, and others, in terms of the role-based access they require.

This project will create an executable recovery plan in the event that our Production instance of the Banner database were to be compromised. This plan will entail restoring the database from a backup and establishing an order of operations for reestablishing integrations with affected applications.   

To meet our strategic goals to become a leading university in the development and delivery of our educational and research programs and to become a premier technology-focused university, we need to improve our faculty hiring and activity reporting processes. Both of these processes are currently decentralized and largely manual. We already use PeopleAdmin software for our staff hiring process, but we have not yet fully leveraged the faculty hiring and faculty information systems (FIS) modules.    

91�ؿ� Tech will be implementing an identity management solution to automate and centrally manage who has access to which 91�ؿ� Tech systems and better understand how to control it.  This project will provide identity and access management, user lifecycle management, single sign on, and management of self-service password and access requests.

This project will upgrade the IIT Bookstore's online course materials request system to a version which will provide quality of life improvements and increased automated reporting capabilities, giving administration visibility to order statuses. The current version of the system will be retired at the end of this calendar year.

This project would replace our current student organization CRM with a new CRM that is more efficient, reflects the needs and uses of our students, and has functionality to manage events, balance budgets, collect and track experiences, and correspond with org leaders. This would contribute to advancing the university towards a more enterprise and cloud-based technological environment. The new CRM would improve the First-Year Experience and could be utilized by the whole Student Engagement department (Career Services, Residence Life, and Campus Life).

This project will modify the existing integration between Planon and Banner to include Unimarket so that Facilities can begin utilizing the full functionality of Unimarket for their purchasing needs. Planon is the purchasing system that Facilities currently uses.

 The existing Odyssey system is inefficient, expensive, slow, lacking in technical support, and lacking in integration with Banner and other updated systems. This project would replace Odyssey with a new Housing/Facilities/Point of Sale management system that has superior functionality that will support our revenue goals by addressing student housing needs efficiently and creating a collaborative payment system with our vendors.

This project is intended to make sure critical data pieces for student services are available in the OTS instance of Salesforce/EDA for use in marketing, reporting, and community building.
