The Enterprise Systems at UST...
The Enterprise Systems at UST are applications used to collect, manage, and analyze administrative data. They facilitate services to our students, alumni, and employees. These applications include Internet Native Banner, Murphy Online, Cognos ReportNet, Operational Data Store (ODS), Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW), and Optix.
Internet Native Banner |
Sometimes referred to as "production Banner", this system contains the university's "system of record" for alumni, employee, financial, and student information. This information is managed in one or more of the five core administrative modules - Advancement, Financial Aid, Finance, Human Resources, and Student. Banner is a product of Sungard Higher Education.

Murphy Online is currently used by students to register for courses, review student accounts, and pay bills online; by employees to view and update personal HR information; by faculty and advisors to advise students and enter grades; and by budget managers and purchasers to access on-line budget and purchase requisition systems.

The Operational Data Store (ODS) is the central data repository from which the majority of the university's reports are generated. Data from Banner is loaded into ODS on a nightly basis, then organized into business views to simplify reporting.

The Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) complements ODS by providing historical snapshots of institutional metrics and measures to support data-driven strategic-planning and decision-making processes. EDW uses Cognos analytic tools to improve institutional effectiveness and decision making.
