Case Study: ISIS

Client

The Division of Academic Services (DAS) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has a long history of using technology to provide better campus history. As a result, DAS had a 20 year old mainframe Student Administration System (SAS) in need of upgrading. In 1995, DAS began a strategic planning process that eventually led to the implementation of the PeopleSoft SAS in late 1999.

Challenge

The Integrated Student information System (ISIS) project would be a large, enterprise-wide effort that would make fundamental changes in university business processes and would require ongoing coordination. The challenge was to give everyone touched by the project a single point of contact for up-to-date information.

Solution

The new site (top left image http://www.isis.wisc.edu/) would have to be database-driven to insure that all information was current and accurate. Administrative screens (left middle image) allow the project to manage News, FAQs, Directory, Committee, e-Letter, File Registry, Web Link, Headers,Categories and Audiences. The Training site (lower left image) allows the project to manage a Directory, Coaches, Committees, New Students, Files, Courses, Classrooms, Attendance, Trainees, Reports, Roles and Modules.
