IT Projects
Our major projects include:
uOttawa has mandated Polaris to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of professional services. From redesigning operating models to fostering a culture of excellence and optimizing procurement strategies, "Polaris" is dedicated to enhancing quality, satisfaction, and efficiency.
The Research Information Security Management Initiative addresses gaps in research data management. It will establish a service catalog, assess researcher needs, and enhance infrastructure to bolster research data management practices.
In Workday, we will implement an accounts receivable subledger to streamline client invoicing and payment processing across the University. This will improve cash flow and budget management by making it easier to track invoices, ensure timely collections, and provide better audit readiness. This initiative aims to optimize operations and establish a university-wide standard.
