Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)
XYZ Telecom received bi-monthly customer PDF billing data (identical to the paper customer invoices) from the print vendor Gilmore, Inc via CD media shipped by FedEx. Upon receipt, this data would then be posted to the CD/DVD media server through a manual entry process. The Billing Disputes Team often required immediate access to this data to deal with customer inquiries for telephone dispute calls regarding current or previous billing periods. Through the use of a dedicated VPN connection, VBScript and Windows Server technology an automated solution was put into place which ultimately saved XYZ Telecom approximately 20 hours of IT …

Many schools - particularly the more dynamic segments of high schools and community colleges - have begun to undertake instruction in the areas of PC repair, networking (vendor-neutral and specific alike), operating systems, wireless technologies, and so forth. For some schools, however, this leap forward has come only with a later realization that there are tremendous startup costs and ongoing expenses associated with such endeavors, especially considering that many of these instructional elements have historically called for independent instructional facilities. From this perspective, institutions may find they have to cut their programmatic vision short in the face of harsher budgetary …

The Implementation Of Time Management Solution, Robert M. Katz
Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)
This project proposes a technical solution that will improve the time tracking capabilities of the software department at Diagnostic Product Corporation (DPC). Currently, each developer submits ad-hoc monthly reports indicating how he or she spends their time. This is problematic for management since there is no standard methodology for recording time spent by each developer. Also, there is not a central repository for collecting this data, resulting in management not being able to accurately interpret how the staff is used from project to project. The goal of this project is the development of an application utilizing a networked database that …

Volunteer System Project: Regis University Networking Lab Practicum, Desirea Duarte Ulibarri
Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)
The Regis University Networking Lab Practicum (NLP) allows MSCIT graduate students the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in IT topics in a controlled computer network environment. The NLP also introduces students to a wide range of external IT projects such as the Volunteer System Project. The Volunteer System Project was the construction of a database system for a non-profit organization. The Volunteer System captures all of the personnel data, work time and project affiliation information and is a critical tool in managing and maintaining a successful volunteer workforce. The performance of the original spreadsheet-based Volunteer System was declining and could …

Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)
Implementation of IT Service Management (ITSM) processes as prescribed by the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) or in Microsoft Operation of Framework (MOF) can be a difficult undertaking. The Regis University Networking Lab Practicum (NLP) has opted to align its current IT Management methodology with the current best practices employed by other organizations. An initial analysis in the form of an executive overview was conducted in order to substantiate the benefits of IT Service Management and to determine the implementation feasibility in an organization comprised mainly of transient IT personnel. The impetus for the transition away from business as usual …
Development Of A Learning Management System For Ucar-Comet, Dan Riter
Development Of A Learning Management System For Ucar-Comet, Dan Riter
Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)
UCAR-COMET creates web-based training modules for professional meteorologists. Prior to the implementation of this project, UCAR-COMET did not have a Learning Management System. A Learning Management System is a web-based system that allows meteorologists to keep track of personal information that relates to each learning module. The Learning Management System also allows the meteorologists' supervisors to monitor this information. Although there are many Learning Management Systems on the market, most are expensive, cannot be customized, and require contract agreements. UCAR-COMET would like to own a web-based system where users can create and manage their own accounts. A user account primarily …

Unix Remote Access Via Ibm S/390 System, Selena Pena
Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)
The MSCIT graduate program at Regis University offers UNIX and Information Assurance courses for all graduate students. In addition, the program gives students the opportunity to participate in the Systems Engineering and Application Development Practicum (SEAD) to complete their professional project/thesis. Due to the limited number of UNIX systems available, the graduate and SEAD students have a limited environment to work on. The UNIX and Information Assurance classes share the Acadunix UNIX server to complete lab work and homework assignments. Some students have limited root access via "sudo." Students cannot practice remote commands and can't use networking tools because another …

A Server Consolidation Solution, Richard J. Swain
Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)
Advances in server architecture has enabled corporations the ability to strategically redesign their data centers in order to realign the system infrastructure to business needs. The architectural design of physically and logically consolidating servers into fewer and smaller hardware platforms can reduce data center overhead costs, while adding quality of service. In order for the organization to take advantage of the architectural opportunity a server consolidation project was proposed that utilized blade technology coupled with the virtualization of servers. Physical consolidation reduced the data center facility requirements, while server virtualization reduced the number of required hardware platforms. With the constant …
