Mission

The Office of Computing and Information Systems (OCIS) has responsibility for the design, administration, and support of the School of Dentistry's computing systems. The OCIS programmers are responsible for developing and supporting computer database applications for administration and for clinic management. Administrative applications include a departmental accounting system (MIS) for budgeting, requisitions, and financial management and a Personnel database. The programmers have  designed and implemented an Electronic Patient Record system (EPR) to manage patient records and administer all of the School's clinics.

The OCIS systems support group manages an extensive array of networked systems consisting of the following components: eight main production Windows 2003 servers and several test and development servers, a Unix server, numerous networked printers, and roughly 1200 client computers including 400 student laptop computers.  Servers in the Windows domain are used to host the School's web site, web-based electronic curriculum, SQL Server databases, Exchange messaging services, and other file and print services.
