Case Western Reserve University: Expanding Access, Extending Boundaries
2/27/2003
Extending University Boundaries
The deployment of the first generation of MyCWRU, which was completed in less
than six months, supports several of the university's strategic technology objectives.
First, the university has instilled new levels of discipline into its enterprise
database environment, merging five active production databases into a consolidated
solution, delivering a more cost-effective and efficient information architecture.
It has also successfully ported database functionality to the Web—enabling
faculty, staff, and students to access critical information through a browser
and supporting the university's information technology goals of end-user productivity,
ease of use, portability, flexibility, and customization. Finally, MyCWRU extends
academic, social, and workplace engagements beyond the physical boundaries of
the university and the traditional nine-to-five, Monday-to-Friday work week—advancing
the university toward its goal of delivering "technology everywhere, all
the time, any way you want it."
