University of Nebraska at Omaha
UNO is located in the heart of Nebraska's largest city and serves as the state's metropolitan university. The university offers nearly 200 programs of study in a learning environment that features the best of both worlds – a small-school atmosphere where internship, employment and entertainment opportunities are plentiful. The pioneering spirit has been a constant, and today, the University of Nebraska continues this tradition through technology-rich education and excellence in the fields of information technology, cancer research, bio-informatics, and agriculture.

The UNO Records & Registration Office has to manage hundreds of thousands of courses offered individually at UNO or jointly with other campuses.
The university had a legacy software application that was used to change course descriptions and associated attributes. As UNO's needs changed, it discovered this system was no longer meeting its requirements and was taking an excessive amount of manual time to maintain. As a result, UNO wanted a new system that was more efficient and easy to use.
This is a critical system for UNO, and we knew BHMI had the expertise to meet our requirements quickly and reliably.

Based on UNO's specific requirements, BHMI created a Course Catalog Maintenance System. This system includes a more robust, browser-based user interface as well as new functionality that has dramatically improved the efficiency of the Records & Registration Office.
The new system provides enhanced course creation and description capabilities and automatically promotes and demotes courses within a curriculum based on modified features. Promoted or demoted courses are properly relinked vertically within a department or college as well as horizontally across cross-linked departments and colleges. In addition, using its built-in workflow capabilities, the Course Catalog Maintenance System automatically routes a newly-created course from an instructor through all appropriate departmental, college and university approval authorities, thereby ensuring that all course validations have been successfully achieved before the course is officially listed. The database built and maintained by the new system is used as the official source of all university electronic and printed course listings and descriptions.
