Administrative Computing • Kuali Financial System • Implemented July 1, 2009 • Will be in ‘sweep up’ mode for awhile • ‘Community Source’ saved $millions • Kuali Coeus research management system • In development • Will implement module by module staring Fall 10 • Banner Document Management System (BDMS) • Project for Spring 10: imaging, organization, work flow

  4. Academic Computing • Academic Computing and Networking Services • Proposed transition to CSU Libraries to deal with the ‘tsunami’ of data impinging upon us • Present focus on efficiencies and robustness • Federated identity management – shibboleth (shib) deployed • Need an Identity and Access Management system • NSF funded ISTeC HPC system – RFP ‘on the street’ • NSF proposal for a digital repository for research data submitted in August
