Meeting Made Easy Mobile Application

(1)

The UD Senior Project team will integrate two business application systems, OnBase into SharePoint, so that information, such as HR data, is able to be viewed on a new tab in SharePoint.

Sharepoint is used by the vast majority of CareSource users, compared to OnBase which is used by a small fraction of employees. Onbase is used for CareSource’s core business processes such as Human Resource documentation and other case-sensitive information. A new tab in SharePoint will be designed so that data from OnBase is able to be accessed easily by employees. The project will be conducted in three phases: integration, certification, and production.

Meeting Made Easy Mobile Application

The purpose of this project is to create a mobile application that will allow employees to book a conference room using their mobile device.

The application will be an iOS Mobile App that is compatible on an iPhone to efficiently book conference rooms at the Sidney plant. It should be able to generate a list of available rooms at a particular time and date with information regarding accessible resources in any given room. It should also have the ability to set “favorite” conference rooms based on location and proximity to the user. The app should connect with Emerson’s WebEx system and include a map of the plant and layout of rooms. The project will be completed using Emerson’s Standard Mobile App Stage Gate Process. The Senior Project Team is responsible for gathering and documenting the requirements in addition to creating a prototype of the app. The Senior Project Team will also be responsible for communication with Emerson’s developers in Manila, Philippines to effectively create and test the app to meet Emerson’s needs.

Organizational Intranet

The student team shall evaluate, select and implement an intranet platform for internal use at Mikesell’s Snack Food Company. This site will help increase efficiency, boost employee morale, and automate current paper documentation and processes.

Mikesell’s Snack Food Company is a privately-owned manufacturer and distributor of snack foods ranging from potato chips and pretzels, to corn products, pork rinds and dips. The company seeks to implement a web-based Intranet site for internal use by their employees. The student team will be free to use whichever systems development structure seems more appropriate, expressing their own creativity to develop a solution. This solution will take as much of the current form of paper documentation and filing, converting it into automated, digitally stored data. The students’ solution will help digitize several manual paperwork processes; initial emphasis will be placed on HR-related functions, such as pay stubs, employee directory, etc.

Project Portfolio Management Solution

This project will define and implement a system for project management within the Teradata IT Services business. The system will be a Project Portfolio Management solution for the registration, communication, maintenance and reporting of details on projects within the Teradata business community.

This project is targeted at implementing a single end to end system to manage the information, status and

communication for the project portfolio. This project will develop and implement a system for the management of projects within Teradata for different business communities from the inception of candidate project ideas through the completion of approved projects. Within the portfolio management system, over the life of the projects, metadata about the project including costs, benefits, schedules, status, risk and issues will be maintained and communicated within the organization and to the business community. The system will create a consistent, simple, integrated, and detailed dashboard hosted over the internet to allow IT members to track the status of a series of projects.

Document Management System

The Triad team will research, develop, and implement a new system for document management through which the whole company can access and edit documents. This new system will replace Triad’s current Lotus Notes System. The new system will be used as an internal control, as well as a communication device for vendors and customers. The team will develop a more efficient and cost effective method of managing and accessing business documents. The new system will also feature remote access to the documents, allowing users to work while away from the office. The team will create the solution either by purchasing a new system for the company, or developing a system internally.

University of Dayton Information Technologies (UDit) Mail Forwarding System

The University of Dayton Information Technologies department (UDit) supports the UD Post Office’s current mail

forwarding system. The system includes an outdated application, computer, and printer that can no longer be supported and needs to be replaced. UDit believes that the Post Office will benefit from a new web application that would simplify the process and add needed security. In addition, this application would link UD’s ERP (Banner), ODS, and housing system (StarRez) to pull the addresses of students to allow the end user to query and print the addresses directly onto labels.

This application will fit the methodologies and programming languages that are used by UDit’s Web Development team. Overall, the creation of this application will benefit UD’s Post Office with their daily tasks regarding mail forwarding and will reduce the required maintenance provided by UDit.

University of Dayton Information Technologies (UDit) UDit Software Distribution Site

The UD Software Distribution Site (http://software.udayton.edu) run by UDit, is the central hub for UD faculty, students, and staff to download licensed software UD has made available. The current site was written 14 years ago by a former student which makes it out of date and difficult to deploy new software. UDit would like to be able to track licensing and download statistics, as well as maintain and support the new site so that it can easily evolve with technological

advances.

To build a successful site, the team will explore software options that meet UDit specifications to efficiently update and rewrite the existing software distribution site so that it is user friendly and will also be able to track key metrics.

University of Dayton Student Development Service Delivery Workflow Project

To identify and document efficient workflows which clearly define and communicate services delivered by the IT

department within Student Development. This will reduce ambiguous processes, improving delivery times and therefore improve quality of service.

UD Student Development strives to improve customer service for their clients. By meeting with customers to discover their business needs, this project will analyze the existing service catalog to find improvements that will improve efficiency. This will be an excellent opportunity to ask probing questions as well as determine how much feedback customers want throughout a service. Workflows will be created to maximize efficiency by reducing lag time. These workflows will document the effectiveness and efficiency of the service delivery.

After identifying more efficient workflows we will determine how each of them relate to the different services offered within the service catalog and implement them in the universities new service application. The implementation of our workflows will lead to the expansion of the department's service application moving forward.
