UB's 'Models of Efficiency' Fall 2010
University Business magazine continues its sharing of institutions selected as honorees for improving business processes. It's own description of this set of award winners:
The fall 2010 Models of Efficiency honorees prove it. One institution’s information technology department worked with athletics administrators on a software application to cut back on the time needed for monitoring athletic eligibility, and now more time can be invested in helping athletes succeed academically. Another IT department brought help desk operations in-house and hired students for the job, saving money while providing quicker service and also preparing them for their future careers. The campus safety department at one institution is doing the same, training student security patrol members to help fulfill the department’s mission and goals to accommodate enrollment growth. Those students are now state-licensed security guards who will have the advantage of professional experience while pursuing four-year degrees and launching careers in law enforcement.
