Information Technology Services of Brooklyn College: Our Projects

Introduction

In recent years, I.T.S. has continued the implementation and expansion of the goals of the college’s electronic campus plan. As mainframe and legacy applications were migrated to network based systems, I.T.S. has redirected resources to leading edge network and web based infrastructure and applications. I.T.S. is proud to be a leader within CUNY in all areas of network, web, and client server applications. Many of our systems have been officially adopted by CUNY for CUNY wide dissemination. Furthermore, many of BC’s major technology initiatives have since been adopted by other CUNY colleges – Imaging, Kiosks, IVR etc..

I.T.S. provides "dial tone" for most of the college’s IT infrastructure and does so with a high degree of reliability and availability. I.T.S. also partners with AIT in the Library to introduce technology to the faculty and the support the college’s instructional mission. But aside from maintaining existing systems, supporting users, and performing recurring production tasks, I.T.S. has consistently been an innovator in the use of technology to reduce costs, make better use of scarce resources, increase reliability and data integrity, and make useful tools available to students, faculty, and staff.

The following is an overview of recent IT achievements in several major categories - many projects overlap multiple categories. Of course, I.T.S. rarely accomplishes any project alone. In every case, I.T.S. worked closely with users and with other IT resources both on campus and at CUNY to bring these accomplishments to fruition.
