Here at UK, I handle user management, form changes done through Expert, a lot of the dictionary updates, troubleshooting, and custom reporting from the Oracle databases for our Animal Oversite and Vivarium products. We have an IT group just for research which I am a member of, but I work closely with members of our IACUC group and staff in the Division of Laboratory Animal Resources who are requesting the changes or reporting issues to us.
Here is the high level job description, though it is kind of vague vs the reality of the position:
Responsibilities include working with vendors, stakeholders, and clients to assess and transform gathered information to produce a project scope, objectives, and estimated timeline; working with 3rd party vendors to assess system customization for specific Research needs; implementing system enhancements that will improve the reliability and performance of the system; and administering a web-based system and its data feeds, both vendor provided and custom developed.

Subject: job position & description
Who at your organization is responsible for maintaining your Cayuse system (i.e. updates, managing forms, managing users, troubleshooting, etc.)? Do you have a product manager within your unit or does that responsibility go to someone in a central IT department? If you do have a product manager, system admin, or some other title that is part of your unit, do you have a job description that you'd be willing to share for that person (or people if you are really lucky...)?
Thanks!
Eric
