Other – IST supports all of the University’s major information systems, and most other applications. While many systems do not support customized development, per se, most systems have options and configurability that permit additional functionality to be exposed, or have API’s that permit extensions to be developed, or can have their data warehoused for advanced reporting and analytics.
