- The SA Division network supports 23 departments dispersed across 15 buildings, in Isla Vista, and operates connectivity to UCSB Outreach office in Bakersfield. The Student Affairs Systems and Network Infrastructure provides a common wide area network and platform for a common SA Division solution for general purpose office automation tools, with secure, yet highly accessible, shared file workspaces allocated by Division, by department, and by cross functional team participation.
- SIS&T provides a high performance, secure networking environment within which all SA staff can work with highly sensitive data with regulatory mandates for privacy and security. This is particularly beneficial given the large number of application users served by SIS&T software applications including 500 staff in 23 departments, 20,000 student users, up to approx. 44,000 applicants, staff, advisors, and increasingly, faculty, with the future enhancement of web based grade submission.
- Division users can login from any SA Division networked PC and gain access to their individual file storage, and department and project shared drives. Standard desktop tools and custom applications are centrally deployed using desktop software distribution tools, that allow the configuration to change once on the backend, making the update available to all user desktops.
- It is designed to support SA Division production applications both custom and vendor, application/user interfaces, WWW publishing, and the custom Software Development Environment. This rich application environment serves to meet the Divisions responsibility for external regulatory data interface mandates, such as Financial Aid interfaces with the Dept of Education, International Student data interface with the Dept of State and the former INS, and UCOP to name a few.
- It provides a consistent architecture platform for application software and software components that can be effectively re-used for multiple departments.
- The SIS&T Customer support team operates a Helpdesk that users can call for any computer related problem which is then escalated to the appropriate SIS&T technical resource to resolve the issue as needed.
