Enterprise systems

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), 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.

Banner Orientation

Faculty, staff, and student workers who need an account to access Internet Native Banner are asked to follow the steps outlined on our Banner Orientation web page. 
 

Murphy Online

A self-service collection of tools that also access our  Banner database.  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.

Cognos Report Net

Cognos ReportNet is a suite of tools used to create and run detailed reports and analyze data to assist the UST community in making informed business decisions. The suite of tools includes Framework Manager for data modeling, Report Studio for report writing, and Cognos Connection, the user interface for managing and running reports.
