We finished up Development Cycle 33 last week, which spans October 1st through the 19th.  Here are some of the highlights for this cycle:

• Banner Updates – Several modifications to Banner were completed during this cycle including changes to the Alumni, Accounts Receivable, Financial Aid, Human Resources and Position Control modules.
• MyACU Refresh – Progress has slowed on this project as we continue to deal with loss in personnel and look to rehire for each of the open positions.
• Weaver Auditors – Over the last two weeks, a team of auditors from Weaver, LLP, have been on campus performing an audit of Information Technology’s policies and practices. A number of development tickets were completed in support of this project.
• OpenClass – Work continues as the campus prepares for the migration from Blackboard to Pearson’s OpenClass.
• Business Intelligence – Tableau was installed on the new remote desktop server, Ezra, and a number of data sources were created to give Tableau users access to needed information.
