Development/Alumni Systems
The MAIS Financial Systems Division
supports the following systems, which provide data related to development
and alumni relations activities at U-M.
Development/Alumni Constituency (DAC) System
DAC provides the authoritative source for alumni addresses, prospect
management, and gift processing for the University. DAC contains
data regarding individuals, corporations, and foundations who support
the development effort at U-M. It is used by the Office
of Development, as well as by development staff across the University.
DAC has interfaces to the M-Pathways Student Administration, Human Resources Management, and Financial
Systems.
U-M Data Warehouse
Data for reporting from the DAC and Executive Information System
(EIS) systems are available in the Development
data set, which is part of the U-M Data Warehouse. Users can
access the data by running predefined queries or by creating ad
hoc queries. BusinessObjects is the supported query and reporting
tool used to access the U-M Data Warehouse.
Executive Information System (EIS)
EIS is used by the Development Office and fund raisers across the
University to access development data residing in the Data Warehouse
via a Graphical User Interface (GUI).
ARU Alumni Records Update (ARU)
MAIS and the Office of
Development have developed self-service Web-based capabilities
for alumni to view and update their biographical data, family relationship
information, and to maintain their official employment and business
affiliation records in the DAC system.
Uniqname Acquisition/Email Forwarding
This service allows alumni that graduated before the use of the
Uniqname here at the University, to acquire one, as well as a Kerberos
password, via a Web site that requires them to authenticate themselves
against components of sensitive data that are known to both parties.
In addition, they are encouraged to take advantage of free e-mail-forwarding
for life that is now offered to all alumni upon graduation (since
December 2001). A recent development also allows alumni, who are
not current students, faculty, or staff, to reset their Kerberos
password upon demand after re-authenticating themselves on the same
Web site.
