A new web resource was launched on November 10, 2008 to improve the process of getting access to campus IT systems. It’s called the IT Access List, and it can be found at http://www.cio.wisc.edu/itaccess/. This improvement was made as a result of the work of the Administrative Process Redesign (APR) team, IT Access for Transferring Employees, in partnership with DoIT staff who helped develop and implement this new web resource.

This APR redesign team focused on decreasing the time it takes to gain access to IT systems. In listening to those involved with this process, they discovered that many supervisors are unaware of all the IT tools their employees need and how to request access. To address this need, the team developed a list of campus IT systems—the IT Access List, which includes contact and access information.

An improvement has also been implemented in the Classified Human Resources Information System (CHRIS) so that shortly after most appointments are approved within CHRIS, supervisors will be prompted to use the new IT Access List.
