A number of projects have been completed and are in progress as the fall semester starts, please see below for more detail:
- We have completed the launch of the new ERP systems as of July 1st. Of course, this does not mean that the work is done. We are currently working on creating efficiencies, developing new functionality, and integrating various systems, both OWU 2.0 and external system. Many new modules will be deployed over the next 12 months and beyond that will have an impact on the campus. One of the most exciting is a new campus portal that will serve as a one-stop-shop for many of the most common tasks and information needs.
- IS and Communications have launched OWU Daily and the OWU Events Calendar. These two new services allow submission of information that is delivered both in email and on the web each business day. The aim is to reduce the number of messages in your inbox. The events calendar aims to be a place where you can see many of the university activities on any given day. See the two links below for more information, and please send us feedback!

- The printed campus phone book should be here in the next 7 to 10 days. In the meantime, you can access a searchable, electronic version at the following address: http://t.co/Wd9Apgk
- We are adding items to OWU Mobile, and soon plan to start actively marketing the app to our various audiences. Kimberlie Goldsberry, Our Dean of Students, now has her own news feed in the app, and we have a number of others in the queue. http://m.owu.edu
- Our mailrooms are currently overflowing with books and other items due to the start of the semester. We are working through the backlog as quickly as we can, and are discussing ways to streamline the process in the future.
Look for more updates in the next couple of weeks as we start to bring new components and services online!
