Wayne State University earned national recognition twice in the past year for innovation in the application of information technology. Developing procedures to identify and document functional processes in WSU\'s core applications, thoroughly testing them with automated scripts before bringing new systems online and monitoring end-to-end service have led to improved system performance and annual savings of approximately $225,000, the university said Wednesday. The effort also earned the university special recognition twice in less than a year from Campus Technology magazine. One article named Wayne State one of 16 \"Campus Technology Innovators\" for 2006, selected from almost 500 entries. In the magazine\'s December 2005 issue, Wayne State was named one of the nation\'s top 100 universities for its IT practices.
