The Departmental Management System was conceived in response to a number of accounting and management problems voiced by various departments and offices within the University. The DMS is not a completed system.
Additional features continue to be added and made available as they are ready.
The Departmental Management System is a flexible, real-time accounting and management system. Real-time means that as soon as you post your data in the system, your balances will reflect the addition of the new data. Flexible means that there are relatively few restrictions built into the system so that you can convert your current accounting system to DMS with a minimum of change necessary. The DMS in no way replaces the official central accounting system of the University nor, at this time, is there any direct communication between the DMS and the official accounting system. DMS data is under the control of the individual bookkeeping offices.
