Custom applications support the highly specialized, forward-thinking work carried out by OVPUE units. As OVPUE continues to support and develop applications for use by IU Bloomington students and OVPUE staff, we are also working to streamline our processes, play a more active role in designing solutions with units, and take advantage of the latest development practices and technologies from the software industry.
IT will champion OVPUE efforts with innovations through application software. IT will support the use of cutting-edge developments in software.
IT will place a high value on customer collaboration. Interactions with stakeholders on application projects will be promoted through methodologies that facilitate regular client feedback.
The application services team will collaborate with the web communications team to refine elements of design and usability.
The Application Services lead will work closely with the interaction designer, the web communications team, and with OVPUE units to identify needs and manage development projects—allowing developers to focus on development.
The applications team will continue to refine and align development and operations practices with industry best practices in efficient code development, versioning, testing and deployment.
By using development frameworks and enterprise-supported development software, application development will become more efficient allowing more time for designing creative solutions for OVPUE units.
The applications team will continue to divest administrative support of completed development projects to the Support Services team. Older applications that are costly in maintenance resources will be rebuilt to reduce the costs.
