Responsible for enhancing, maintaining, and supporting the functional operations of the ERP system, they accomplish and further the goals and objectives of the various operational units across campus. Because EA is grounded in developing and supporting the ERP, in addition to ITS staff, other members of EA are assigned from the major business units of the University.
