Links to other enterprise systems, including SES, InfoEd, Maximus, and Blackboard, to provide

a comprehensive view of faculty research, funding sources and teaching activities (Phase 2).

Proposed Faculty Information Project (FASIS)

The Faculty Information System Project (FASIS) presents a means to expand on the 2007 faculty

reporting database project and accomplish the FISI project team’s objectives without the extensive

costs of buying or building a new system, hiring a full implementation team, purchasing a software

package to meet University needs, or adding new on-going maintenance costs.

As a result of the economic climate, we have redesigned the development into incremental phases.

Incrementing these initiatives will stage development and utilize the project team more effectively, which

will minimize costs.

Current Development in 2008 and 2009

In the past fiscal year, HRIS focused on several projects for the Office of the Provost as a pre-cursor to

building a Faculty Information System. Currently in development or planned for completion this fall are:

•

A Retirement Panel

•

An Enhanced Tenure Panel

•

A Faculty Offer Form

•

eRecruit enhancements to allow faculty job posting with automatic updates to GC HERC

•

Updated 2009 faculty information in the reporting database

•

Faculty appointment data updated/added in FASIS (HRIS) for the past 10 years. This

will provide accurate historical reporting on faculty appointments

•

FASIS (HRIS) data mart design for faculty reporting

•

Expanded FASIS (HRIS) Department Page to capture academic departments and

reporting hierarchies

•

Expanded job title information to include faculty specific information, such as rank

Phase 1: Initiate the Faculty and Staff Information System (FASIS) and continue updating the FASIS

(HRIS) Data Mart – Fall 2009

From an academic standpoint, this initiative will enhance faculty information in FASIS (HRIS) by

combining FASIS (HRIS), Provost and schools’ faculty data. It is intended to leverage the NUPortal to

provide a secure single sign-on to select and view faculty information through enterprise and local

management information systems (LMIS). Viewing faculty information in FASIS (HRIS) will be

designed from an academic perspective vs. a payroll perspective.

Leveraging Portal technology will allow faculty or school administrators to enter data and apply updates

in multiple systems, including FASIS (HRIS) and LMIS. Such data includes publications, research

interests and efforts, proposals, awards and course load. As a result, the Office of the Provost, school

deans’ offices and departments can review all academic information on a faculty member.

Phase 2: Enhance the Faculty Information System (FASIS) – Fall 2010

Building on the enhancement to FASIS (HRIS), the portal will link the SES, InfoEd, Blackboard, and

Maximus databases to bring all information into a central repository for reporting. Linking the BI tools

and enterprise systems will assist the LMIS to obtain information from one source, the data mart,

instead of interfacing with many databases to collect information from the enterprise systems. The
