Agenda Items:
Wendia
 Fixed some main problems they’ve been having. Surveys are working. When you close a project
now, it actually closes.
 Good progress on SCCM.
 A lot of people still using Crystal Reports. Argos has same capabilities; we may want to consider
efficiency of having both.
Classroom Building
 Networking has been busy getting new CB online. They have the 2 locations up that were
required for today, some switches are mounted, and the core will be brought online by week’s
end.
 Wireless will start getting put in over next couple of days. Media will help get access points up
and going.
 In January there will be classes on main floor, at least in main auditorium. Offices won’t move in
until March.
 TS has put in all elevator, emergency, and fire alarm phones. Fire Marshall is coming on 15th.
 18th is the Ribbon Cutting on the bridge.
PCI

AIS is stopping UVPay. No new development as they move over to TouchNet. There’s a lot to
figure out: how to move everyone over from UVPay, what options will best suit our needs, the
automation on the back end.
Systems Administration
 The position they received in July will have second interviews on Thursday. The Reporting
Environment (Tableau) Administrator job description is awaiting feedback from Ray, David, and
Laura.
 IO problems with Banner database and the SAN that it’s on. Brett would like to put together a
meeting early next year where we can look at the architecture of the systems, what we’re doing
on them, and if there are better practices we can put into place. Groups involved would be DBAs,
Security, Networking, and probably Developers.
 IDM Coordination group related to identities on campus- some re-architecting is needed to
include access management, security, address impacts of encryption issues and look at best
practices across the industry and Higher Ed.
Administrative Programming
 Lots of projects going on.
 Beth Myrer is working to get Marilyn’s position of software engineer posted. Interviews will likely
start in January.
