About the Software Development and Support Team
The Software Development and Support team (SWDS) provides application development for ITS administrative applications and contract services for departments. Our administrative services focus on providing users with access to the many services ITS offers. Among these services are those that allow for students, faculty, and staff to order, manage, and pay for core services, such as e-mail accounts, disk storage, telephone and voice mail services, and software. The contract service we provide builds customized applications for departments that don't have their own software developers. You can see samples of some of the applications in the Contract Software and Web Development service portfolio. These applications include a suite of academic services for the Jackson School of Geosciences; AdGrad, a social networking site for the Advertising department in the College of Communications; and Odonata Central, an application developed to assist Dr. John Abbott with his research of dragonflies and damselflies.
