Campus Wide ID Enhancement |
| |
|
Overview
|
| |
|
Software Services is working on a series of iterative projects that will result in enhancing the current OSU A&M Enterprise Administrative Systems with a new 8-digit, randomly-generated Campus Wide ID (CWID). The CWID will be the new unique identifier that is portable for all individuals in the OSU A&M System, and will be available for use by all the System's institutions. The implementation of the Campus Wide ID will increase the security of personal and academic information held within the OSU A&M System databases.

The OSU Student/Employee ID is pervasive across a multitude of systems, each of which contains thousands of programs designed to use the current Student/Employee ID. Replacing one numbering scheme with another requires a great deal of analysis of the flow and use of data. Extensive planning and coordination is required across the 8 constituent institutions of the OSU/A&M system to prevent any loss of data. A sufficient lead time to plan for and disseminate information about changing the processes of the many users of system data is required.

The different projects involved in this enhancement are listed below, along with their current status as of July 28, 2006.
|
| |
- OSU/A&M Human Resource System CWID Cutover: The CWID cutover for the HR system was completed on September 30th, 2005.
- OSU/A&M Student Information System CWID Cutover: All OSU/A&M Student Information Systems have completed their conversion to CWID as of July 17, 2006. We continue to work with individual areas in the conversion of their shadow systems to the new CWID.
|
| |
|
We continue to develop CWID management tools for the OSU/A&M system applications, including enhanced methods to assign a new CWID or change existing ones.
|
| |
|
The estimated project completion date is December 31, 2006.
