Kudos to Jeremy Gude for Receiving Employee of the Quarter
A master in database performance tuning & web services
DoIT would like to recognize our own Jeremy Gude for receiving the Employee of the Quarter (EOQ) award. The EOQ program recognizes the outstanding qualities and contributions of employees towards departmental and institutional goals and mission. Gude is a Specialist/Database Administrator for DoIT, who has been with DoIT for 15 years.
Gude was presented his award on January 12th at a department all-staff meeting. Gude will receive a check for $500, a special parking space, and one day of administration leave.
“Jeremy is the model employee and a pleasure to have on our team.”
Todd Haddaway, Director for Database & Identity Management, nominated Gude for the award. “Jeremy is the model employee and a pleasure to have on our team.” said Haddaway.
Gude’s most recent accomplishment was completing a project to real-time replicate production student, finance, and HR Peoplesoft databases. Gude was able to reduce the risk of lost data in the event of a computer room disaster, from up to one day to less than 5 minutes.
Stacy Long, Director for DoIT, said, “Jeremy has been instrumental in tuning PeopleSoft Processes so that they complete in a timely fashion.”
“...a major asset to our division and his work ethic is second to none.”
Other accomplishments include working to process more transactions within PeopleSoft. In the Finance department, one job was taking up to 12 hours to finish but thanks to Gude working diligently on finding database changes to make, the job now runs in under an hour.
“Gude is a major asset to our division and his work ethic is second to none.” said Haddaway, While having a broad knowledge of each technology in our group, his knowledge is also deep.”
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is another key area where Gude works, where he was instrumental in architecting a robust deployment model, increasing reliability and speed to changing system needs.
When not working at DoIT, Jeremy has coached his daughter’s lacrosse teams and currently participates with his son’s swim team, while also being a member of his community pool board.
Congratulations to Jeremy Gude on his EOQ award!

How Student Disability Services Ditched Their Paper System
With help from DoIT, a new cloud solution was implemented
Student Disability Services (SDS) had a major problem. Their paper system they relied on for years was not keeping up with the increased demand they saw at their office. Rather than look for help outside, they came to DoIT with a solution in mind: implement a cloud-based system that would not only keep their department organized, but infuse it with new data analytics to gain better insights into their operations.
Tawny McManus, Director for SDS and Cassie Kilroy Thompson, Advising & Accessibility Specialist for SDS, needed accurate information not just for themselves, but for faculty as well. There would be some cases where faculty would get a letter from SDS informing them there was a student in their class who needed special accommodations, but there wouldn't be enough information about that student.
The problem with doing everything on a paper system comes from the inherent flaws of such a system. A paper system assumes everyone can come in and fill out the necessary forms. For SDS, printing out paper copies and creating files would just lead to more steps for something to get misfiled or misplaced entirely.
“You’re making people write on a card when their schedule is in a computer…”
“Students did not know their campus ID when coming in,” said McManus, “They would give us a hotmail or Gmail address, there would be no connection to other offices, and some of the handwriting was tough to read.”
“All of those bits and pieces inspired us to have something better.” said Thompson. “You’re making people write on a card when their schedule is in a computer. This is insane.”
The other problem they faced was the lack of integration with existing campus systems. Without PeopleSoft, they could not view a student's current status, or even when a student dropped or added a class.
“A lot of the information we were collecting was already in PeopleSoft.” said Thompson.

One of the many services SDS employs is student note takers. Before, their process required note takers to come into the office just to wait in line to get to a form they had to fill out. SDS would then received an overwhelming amount of requests that required a face to face interaction.
This is where Bryan Lee, a Cloud Business Analyst for DoIT, came in. Working together with McManus and Thompson in addition to the vendor Symplicity, they were able to create a cloud-based solution, called Accommodate, that met the business needs of SDS.
SDS now had access to PeopleSoft data in Accommodate so they could see when students dropped or added classes and even their schedule. They could also pull relevant and up to date contact information straight from PeopleSoft as well.
“The data is literally there in a minute....”
In addition, SDS was able to track all their tickets and have them update for everyone at the same time. They could view notes written on each ticket and see who was signed up for note taking and for which classes, at a glance. “No more lines to sign up for being a note taker” said McManus. Also, thanks to integration of Single Sign On (SSO), both the department and students could log in just by using their myUMBC credentials, increasing security for the student and allowing for overall better data analytics reporting.
SDS was also technically no longer restricted to the office for business information. McManus said, “The data is literally there in a minute, I can log in from my phone [or] at home and quickly see what tickets were made, if they are active, classes, status, or major.” Thompson shared a similar experience, where she was able to open up everything on her ipad to find out a student’s schedule.
“Part of our mission is to empower students to be more independent.”
An added benefit to migrating to the new Symplicity tool was just how much independence it gave to students. Students could now schedule appointments themselves, which feeds into part of SDS’s mission. “[This] allowed students more freedom to do everything themselves.” said Thompson, “Part of our mission is to empower students to be more independent.”
“Having other modules from Symplicity, it’s nice to know who's going to walk into your office before they get there.” said Thompson.
Working with DoIT was a key highlight for McManus and Thompson. “Bryan would ask what we do, and tried to understand what we were doing and helped shape the needs of our department. We didn't expect ongoing communication, we thought IT would stop after it is implemented.” said McManus.
By collaborating with DoIT, SDS was able to find a solution that met the business needs of their department. “When people ask me for data, I feel 100% confident to give it to them now.” said McManus.

Technology Support Center To Be Closed Jan. 27, 12-2:30 PM
DoIT's Technology Support Center will be closed from 12PM-2:30PM, Friday, January 27th to allow our staff to attend our departmental staff meeting.
If you need assistance during this time, we encourage you to refer to our FAQ knowledgebase available at
umbc.edu/faq for answers to many frequent questions. If you require further assistance, we ask that you please submit a ticket online by going to
my.umbc.edu/help.
This change is fairly significant because the VPN will no longer rely on java to launch the client, which means there is a new launcher program that has to be installed before the client can be run. From a security standpoint, this is a better approach, but it means the upgrade may have more steps than it has in the past.
The next time you login to the VPN it will upgrade the software to the newest version. It may also require you to download a small launcher program to enable the upgrade. We have pre-installed that program on centrally managed windows machines to make the update easier. We will have extra staff from desktop support available Thursday morning to assist groups as needed. We will be updating the FAQs Wednesday morning for both windows and mac to try and answer any questions that may come up during this process. If people encounter any issues please call the TSC at 410-455-3838 or put in an RT ticket at http://rt.umbc.edu Windows FAQ Pagehttps://wiki.umbc.edu/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=1867886Mac FAQ Pagehttps://wiki.umbc.edu/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=1867888If you have other questions or want more information on the changes, please email me.

The UMBC Exit is THE SAME EXIT off of 95 for the BWI Marshall Airport.
Follow the signs for UMBC, Rt. 166, Catonsville.
Once you are on UMBC’s campus (landmarks: Silo on the left, BW Research Park on the right plus construction), stay in the right lane.
* Make a RIGHT onto Hilltop Circle.
* Pass Administration Drive (immediately past the parking garage)
* Make the 2nd LEFT onto Commons Drive.
The Commons Building will be in front of you. It is a multi-leveled glass walled building. Park in any open space or open lot after 3:30. If you park at a meter, you must have coins available to pay the metered fees.
The Commons is surrounded by the Parking Garage, the Physics Building, the Public Policy Building, and the Theatre. You will know that you are in the right place because Commons Drive ends in a loop with these buildings at the edges.
