From the Director

Ron Rash, AIS Senior Director

Remember the old term “data processing?" Here at Administrative Information Services (AIS), we still do lots of good old “data processing,” and we do it extremely well!

The heart and soul of business data handling and management is the part of the organization assigned the responsibility of ensuring that the thousands of processes executed each week are performed accurately and in a timely fashion.

Please read the feature story on Production Control and Operations (below) to understand how AIS supports these critically important tasks.
