The University of Dayton Senior Project Team, Mikesell’s Snack Food Company, and The University of Dayton Information Technologies (UDit)

Presenting

Organizational Intranet and Mail Forwarding System

Thursday, April 21, 2016

5:30p - 8:00p

Abstract: Organizational Intranet

The student team shall evaluate, select and implement an intranet platform for internal use at Mikesell’s Snack Food Company. This site will help increase efficiency, boost employee morale, and automate current paper documentation and processes. 

Mikesell’s Snack Food Company is a privately-owned manufacturer and distributor of snack foods ranging from potato chips and pretzels, to corn products, pork rinds and dips. The company seeks to implement a web-based Intranet site for internal use by their employees. The student team will be free to use whichever systems development structure seems more appropriate, expressing their own creativity to develop a solution. This solution will take as much of the current form of paper documentation and filing, converting it into automated, digitally stored data.  The students’ solution will help digitize several manual paperwork processes; initial emphasis will be placed on HR-related functions, such as pay stubs, employee directory, etc.

Abstract: Mail Forwarding System

The University of Dayton Information Technologies department (UDit) supports the UD Post Office’s current mail forwarding system. The system includes an outdated application, computer, and printer that can no longer be supported and needs to be replaced. UDit believes that the Post Office will benefit from a new web application that would simplify the process and add needed security. In addition, this application would link UD’s ERP (Banner), ODS, and housing system (StarRez) to pull the addresses of students to allow the end user to query and print the addresses directly onto labels.

This application will fit the methodologies and programming languages that are used by UDit’s Web Development team. Overall, the creation of this application will benefit UD’s Post Office with their daily tasks regarding mail forwarding and will reduce the required maintenance provided by UDit.
