The Departments of OIS and UIS: Enterprise Engineering and Technology Services (EETS)
Mission Statement
EETS's primary goal is to ensure the engineering of efficient, integrated, and secure Enterprise Class applications and services.
To achieve this goal, EETS focuses on the following strategies:
- prioritizing activies using a goal driven process that combines external benchmarking and research with attempts to maximize the mapping of our team's activities to user-prioritized, business goals (i.e. we strive to work on the highest value activities while saying "no" to lower value distractions)
- increasing collaboration at all levels (e.g. within and between teams, with other UIS divisions, and with our user communities)
- reducing complexity at all levels (e.g. numbers of servers, application environments and system interconnections)
Functions of EETS
Led by Matthew McNally, EETS currently comprises three distinct areas - The Office of Enterprise Architecture and Engineering, Enterprise Infrastructure Engineering and Enterprise Information Systems. EETS provides oversight and also serves as a support center for the University Information Security Office, which enables and supports computer and network security throughout the University.
Enterprise Architecture and Engineering (EAE)
The Office of EAE provides institutional leadership in the architecture, design, and technical execution of information and administrative computing environments - including but not limited to - systems, applications, networking and security.
The office is charged with fostering the use of formal architecture, design, and technical implementation processes within UIS; approving and monitoring the progress of all technical initiatives against sound engineering practice and engineering standards; and supervising the development and publishing of minimum engineering standards and best internal practices.
Enterprise Infrastructure and Engineering (EIE)
Working closely with EAE, the Enterprise Infrastructure Engineering area, led by Marty Johnson, is composed of two teams that are charged with the design, integration, and increasingly, the implementation of Georgetown's solutions.
- Collaborative Services
The Collaborative Services team provides support for the majority of the University's identity management and collaborative applications (e.g. GU Mail, GU Calendar, Directory Services, Active Directory Integration, etc.). Questions may be directed to eets-cs@georgetown.edu
- Research and Academic Computing
The Research and Academic Computing team serves as the organizational home for resources attached to grant initiatives or involved in the dedicated support of Scholarly Information sytems such as Blackboard or Shibboleth.
Enterprise Information Systems (EIS)
The EIS division supports Georgetown's enterprise business applications and services.
- Human Resource Information Systems
The Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS) team led by Julianne Aaron is charged with the collaborative delivery of the systems and support to enable the processing of Georgetown's Human Resource, Benefits, and Payroll information. Questions may be directed to eets-hris@georgetown.edu.
- GOCard Implementation Team
The GO Card Implementation team led by Larry Dupuis is charged with the project management and transaction processing for Georgetown's "One Card" campus solution.
- Student Systems Group
The Student Systems Group lead by Judy House is charged with the maintenance of Georgetown's student information repositories. These include the management and support for both the University's PeopleSoft Admissions System and the SCT based Student Information System. Questions may be directed to eets-ssg@georgetown.edu.
- Web Access
The Web Access team is charged with enabling Internet browser-based access to Georgetown's diverse collection of information stores. The team also supports the University's e-commerce related initiatives and activities. Questions may be directed to eets-web@georgetown.edu.
