Student Information System
SIS - System Computing Services has customized the system extensively for the seven institutions. SIS users from all of the Nevada institutions meet monthly with representatives from System Computing to discuss problems and enhancements. Enhancements are prioritized by the institutions and System Computing.
Informs hosts an annual meeting for all of their SIS users. During this meeting, Nevada has a definite say in the direction of development. We also get to view and test the beta versions of the new system.
Student Information System - is a system written by a company called Informs. It is based on an IBM mainframe computer housed in System Computing Services building on the UNR campus in Reno. It is older technology by today's standards, but Informs is working on a major rewrite due out in 2004-2005. Informs continues to support the existing system. Besides the seven institutions in Nevada, Inform's SIS customers include Columbia University, Ohio University, University of Maryland-College Park and University of Wisconsin-Parkside.
