Research Projects

Find and schedule campus wide video conferencing rooms.

University Services has made the decision to put our replacement Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) out to bid. We will make a pre-proposal conference available to the potential bidders, likely to be early in the week of 10/19/09.

A borderless network is an emerging technology in the networking and security industry. Borderless networks allow authenticated traffic to the appropriate access on the network and access to resources alloted the specific person or group.

This project will research this new network/access philosophy for replacement of traditional access to networks.

Working with MyASU team, Classroom Support and Classroom scheduling, provide instructors and support staff with on-line tools to facilitate initial requests and on-going support of various classroom tools including student clickers, classroom software etc.

Provide ASU Wireless network services throughout the American Campus Communitieis managed Vista Del Sol Apartment complex.

This project will address Effort Report auto routing and notification requirements.

Currently, email notifications are not distributed to the employee aligned to teh Effort Report for a give effort reporting period. As a result, this project will address resolve invalid routing of reports and manual updates.

Additionally, an ORSPA initiator is require to notify DEAs of effort reports requiring certification. The current process potentially distributes hundreds of email to one DEA, because a single email per effort report is distribued to a DEA. Implementation of notification requirements will adress the email overload caused by the current process.

This project will provide several enhancements to TAM (Talent Acquisiton Management module). It will add several extra fields to the Applicant view, combing applicant evaluation summary page, fix applicant issues and have the ability to print all resumes at one time.

Virtual desktops provides a host of services to users to add in access to applications and desktops.  Virtual desktops increase the flexiblity and security, while greatly reducing the resources and costs associated with maintenance of the desktop environment.  Desktop systems can run out the the data center, provision physical machines, ro run on top of existing operating systems in a hosted locally mode.  New systems and applications are able to deploy within a fraction of the time required to support physcial workstations alone in the traditional way.  Applications and Operation systems are packaged and deployed with the same mechanism once to many different deployed scenarios.

Implement ERE Encumbrances for FY 2010.  The ERE encumbrances would be
based on the new ERE Rates, which will include RA/TA tuition remission.

Create a way to send ASU transcripts out electronically. Currenly we process over 200 transcripts daily on average with peak periods being around 600-800 transcripts daily. This manual process causes a delay in processing due to mail times, etc. This will allow more options to send out transcript electronically.

Labor distribution is a key part of grants management and reporting. Grants historical require a large amount of labor distribution. Current encumbrancing processes also require labor "tuning". This project will look to improve both the time and labor reporting process, i.e., more accurate reporting up front, and the post adjustment of labor redistribution. Batching and bulk re-distribution will analyzed. This will be a combined effort of Research Adminstration, Financial Services, the HR/Payroll team, and UTO.
