[Year] 1993 [Recommendation] As the office works with the decision makers, it should engage in activities which put more IR support in the departments. The office needs to translate data into usable information. [Actions Taken] 
Progress has been made in this area, but resources have been a limitation. During the past three years the director has chaired a small group of users to create downloads from the administrative systems to support decision-making. Several offices now have this capability. However, funds have not been available to support the development of a university-wide data warehouse. In 2001 a focused program review of OIR's data management capabilities will be completed. One of the objectives will be to determine how OIR can best provide data to decision-makers.
