• Develops and deploys major enhancements to administrative application systems and develops or acquires new systems.
• Provides solutions to business and operational problems.
• Provides reports and information to university departments, faculty, staff, and students.
• Assists in other university administrative initiatives such as data warehousing.
• Provides information and consultation to University committees such as the Administrative Information Technology Committee (AITC), Institutional Information Reporting Committee (IIR), and the Institutional Data Administration Committee (IDA).
