Evaluation of the SunCard and Blackboard Environment as an Enterprise System

Quick View

Summary:

The SunCard and Blackboard transactional environment is one of the fundamental systems used at ASU. The SunCard is integral to various university resources such as door access, payment for print services, purchases with Sun Dollars, meal plans and is used for identification.

Management of this environment is being transferred from University Business Services (UBS) to the University Technology Office (UTO). During the transition, these systems will be evaluated to ensure that they meet UTO enterprise standards and are designed to best support the needs of ASU.

If areas are identified that need to be developed or enhanced, additional projects will be created to address them.

This is a combined project with UTO (Development and Operations), UBS, Blackboard, and the SunCard office.
