K-State’s new Student Information System (iSIS) replaced several legacy systems that had been running on the mainframe including SIS, BRS, and FAMS. iSIS also replaced KATS, the system that provided users with web-based access to mainframe student data. As a result, the university will soon meet its long-term goal of decommissioning the mainframe and KATS systems on June 30.
The decommissioning teams have recommended that academic-user access to the mainframe and KATS be discontinued at 5 p.m. Friday, May 22. This date will enable the teams to address any unforeseen questions or concerns before the systems are shut down and the hardware is removed.
If there is a need to access the mainframe after May 22, access can be temporarily reinstated. Contact the IT Help Desk (785-532-7722, helpdesk@k-state.edu) for assistance.
