Enterprise Systems
Access/Reporting/Training
Banner is a fully integrated suite of administrative software applications (Finance, Human Resources, Student Information System, etc.) used by the three campuses of University of Illinois for business operations.
The Banner Support team provides coordination and continuity between the UIS campus and the University’s central enterprise systems support organizations. We support campus administrative and college units, faculty, and students in their use of UI-Integrate Self-Service/Banner and related student systems.
Zoom
Zoom is a cloud-based conferencing solution that provides both video conferencing and screen share capabilities. All UIS faculty, students, and staff have access to the university’s licensed account and to Zoom’s great video conferencing features.
Telephone
Phones
ITS provides a Cisco-based Internet Protocol (IP) phone system for the UIS community. This system allows for IP desk phones to be connected to the campus network eliminating the need for extra cabling to be run all throughout campus to provide phone support. The IP phone system also allows for more flexibility by allowing for a softphone option to our users. A softphone is a piece of software that allows users to make telephone calls over the Internet via a computer or smartphone.
Email Forwarding for Life
ITS offers an email forwarding service for life for all UIS graduates. This service allows UIS graduates to opt-in and provide a personal email address that all messages sent to their "NetID"@uis.edu account will be forwarded to.
Email accounts are created automatically for every UIS student and employee when the campus NetID is created. Microsoft Outlook is the most widely used email client on campus and is installed on nearly every office computer, both Windows and macOS, available anywhere through online, and mobile devices.
Lecture Capture / Kaltura
Information Technology Services department at UIS provides a lecture capture system to be used on or off campus allowing you to record whatever is displayed on the computer screen along with your audio and video.
