UAlbany MBA Students Present Final Recommendations for AIS Discovery Project

UAlbany students in Dr. Eliot Rich’s MBA class, Systems Analysis and Design, have concluded a one semester collaborative experience with ACASE. This was a real-life case study concerning the opportunities and challenges of bringing ACASE’s Assessment Information System (AIS) into the 21st century and positioning it as part of a viable business opportunity. The students conducted interviews with those familiar with the AIS and worked closely with ACASE over the semester to refine their projects. The students’ work culminated in final presentations to stakeholders during class on May 7th, 2019, where they made recommendations that included comprehensive and innovative solutions to the AIS to enhance delivery of value to the K-12 education and training worlds.
