Welcome to the Information Systems Project Page
- In the Information Systems Consulting Project Course, small student teams collaborate with community-based organizations to develop useful information system solutions to meet real management needs.
- Each project team proposes, defines, designs and implements a working information system or application with the project client.
- Teams act as consultants working 'with' and not 'for' their project clients.
- At the completion of the project, each team must provide a sustainable solution that fits the client's objectives, organization constraints and capabilities.
Testimonials
Greg Victor, CEO of International Free Expression Project
says “The International Free Expression Project has been a CMU Information Systems Community Partner twice, and I cannot say enough about the efficiency of the program administration, the quality of the students, and the excellence of the work they produced. The first group of students helped us develop a contact/donor database. The second group worked with us and a startup, Roadies Lab, to create a unique online art gallery featuring the work of suppressed and persecuted artists. Both groups were organized, dedicated, hardworking, creative and a pleasure to work with.”
Ashley Priore, Founder and CEO of Queen's Gambit
says “The CMU IS Consulting Project connects nonprofit organizations with top-tier IS student consultants to deliver high-quality solutions and strategic advising to enhance missions and visions. Through this program, my nonprofit organization was able to increase the number of schools we impact by close to 60% thanks to the development of software to strengthen our community mapping directory. The student consultants became a part of our small but mighty team and continue to impact our work to this day.”
Bill DiPlacido, Business Analyst from CORE
says, “What a wonderful experience over the last couple of years working with two amazing student teams. The CMU Community Partners programs allows us to develop solutions our teams have not had the time to complete projects that enables us to automate processes that were very labor intensive. They learned new technologies quickly to develop in technologies like WordPress or Radzen that we can continue to support for many years to come, furthering CORE's commitment to our mission to save and heal lives through donation.”
