A Management Certification Report system is now available in EIS. The system is designed to provide a certification process for actual expenditure data. Institutional managers are able to view their expenditures during the fiscal year and verify that the expenditures look correct on a monthly basis. Individuals can also view their expenditures and revenues.

The report consists of a responsibility page that displays to show the department ID or project ID holder the expenses they are responsible for certifying. A prompt page is available with a variety of criteria to select for filtering the report by business unit or budget period, and the summary data itself. Once a manager has had the opportunity to review the data, there is a button on the page that allows them to certify the results.

The system was created with the goal of helping managers to have a more convenient and efficient way to identify when and where their funds are being used. The work to design and develop the system was a collaborative effort between the EIS Finance, Administration and Budgeting, and Business Intelligence Team; the EIS Data Warehouse and Finance teams; and the UNT Budget office.

A SAN (Storage Area Network) is a network specifically dedicated to the task of transporting data for storage and retrieval. SAN architectures are alternatives to storing data on disks directly attached to servers or storing data on Networked Attached Storage (NAS)devices which are connected through general purpose networks. SANs are traditionally connected over fiber channel networks.

UNT’s SAN is integral to the performance of EIS as well as distance learning and numerous other systems. It provides flexible (easily configured)and large amounts of storage space at performance levels only dreamed about a few years ago.
