Imaging & Document Management (OnBase)
The Imaging & Document Management group maintains the document management system (OnBase). In addition, the group performs workflow analysis and web forms design.
OnBase is an enterprise system that combines document imaging with electronic document management tools to capture, preserve, and deliver documents in digital form.
OnBase is used by numerous departments and colleges across campus and it is the responsibility of Enterprise Application Services to make sure that the system is administered, maintained, and upgraded regularly.
