The Government has offered Australia's three mobile operators, and vividwireless, renewal of their existing spectrum allocated on 15 year licences in the late 90s and early 2000s at set prices, while the Government expects to rake in $3 billion.
According to Brookes, the ability to generate customised
reports and automate standard processes, makes it possible for UTS
staff to conduct in-depth analysis versus manual report production,
helping the University stay on top of critical daily operations.
IBM says the new reporting solution includes web
services for greater flexibility in the delivery of reports to staff
and improved auditing capabilities through recording of information
such as who is using the system, which reports and queries are being
run, and the cost of queries to system resources. It says that the
university will also be using barcoding functionality to generate
individual barcodes for each invoice prepared through the student
management system.
Brookes said a major factor in the selection of IBM Cognos was UTS' extensive and successful experience
with Cognos over several years.
“At the same time, IBM Cognos Software Group Services demonstrated a
successful prototype of converting reports using IBM Cognos 8.3. Using
the IBM Cognos Services team in a quality assurance role has been a
major help to the
project. They've been here in our offices every week giving fast
responses to any queries or issues and helping us to understand best
practices.”
Brookes said deployment of IBM Cognos 8.3 is now under way with the conversion of approximately 170
customised reports, with the project managed by UTS with support from
IBM implementation partner, UXCPM and IBM Cognos Guardian Services.
She also said that after the system goes live at the end of September,
UTS staff will begin development of dashboards and drill-down
capabilities for more comprehensive analysis.
