the unreliability of SIS

@Dean J

It may have worked for you, but it wasn’t the best system for the University.

ISIS was not “cradle to grave”. It was so bad that many (most?) offices had shadow systems that were only as good as the best technical person in the office. </p>

<p>

That’s because the University appears to have no control over the development of its own system – it gets controlled by a bunch of guys in a random office in Oracle.

You don’t seem to have read my responses the last time you created this thread. This system isn’t being managed or controlled by Oracle.</p>

The third phase of the Integrated System Project—the SSP—will replace ISIS, the current system of record. The functionality and underlying technologies of ISIS cannot meet current or future administrative or programmatic needs of students, faculty, or administrators, for example:</p>

<pre><code> o Because of its aging technology platform, ISIS lacks both the flexibility to meet routine business needs and the ability to effectively incorporate new technologies, despite maximal effort to incorporate web front ends and other modifications.
o ISIS was not created to include a variety of functions that are now requirements at top-ranked institutions, e.g., a real-time course offering directory. It requires significant manual effort to accommodate new programs, fees, and academic schedules.
o It is increasingly difficult to change ISIS to accommodate expanding informational and reporting needs.
