The Association of Information
Technology Professionals (AITP)
Celebrating Over 50 Years of Service to Pittsburgh
Next Event ~ Monday, February 8th
The next time you are in your data center, look around, and imagine for a moment that it is gone. And not just the computers. Imagine that the entire building no longer exists. Next, imagine that your job is to get as much of the work that was being done in the data center going in some fashion, somewhere, as soon as possible. What would you do? We all know – Disasters come in different sizes. IT emergencies can be as simple as a single server failure. With NetCare BDR you can be prepared for the total loss of a datacenter or the loss of a single server.
This is not your father’s AS/400. We will present some of the new features of the IBM System i including:

Master of Information Strategy, Systems and Technology (MISST) In 2007, Muskingum launched the Master of Information Strategy, Systems and Technology, a vanguard program that creates confident, high-performance professionals who are able to integrate technology and business strategy to achieve exponential results in today’s competitive markets. MISST is offered fully online and can be achieved on a full time or part time basis depending upon one’s personal and professional schedule. The
following program overview document provides materials that we hope will
encourage your organization to consider the Master of Information Strategy,
Systems and Technology degree. There is also an electronic application. Program Model On page 1 you will find a visual representation of the knowledge and skills our graduate degree offers today’s professional. At a glance, you will see how the core competencies form the groundwork for developing effective and integrated responses to emerging business opportunities. These are the skills that drive results. Program Overview On page 2 you will find an overview of the eleven courses comprising the 54-credit program. All are project-based. In seven, participants collaborate in teams to respond to case-based business challenges and present solutions. Four of the courses focus on independent projects related to each participant’s professional experience and career priorities. While the program can be completed in as few as two years, students can begin applying newly-acquired skills and knowledge immediately to the benefit of their organizations. In the process of completing the curriculum, the participant builds an e-portfolio providing a track record of accomplishments. On the next page, three of the MISST graduates describe the impact of the program on their careers in terms of improved performance, professional advancement and return on investment. The additional materials included in this packet provide an overview of the diverse industries and educational backgrounds of students in MISST. Mary Kaufmann welcomes the opportunity to talk with you about this innovative program and how it is creating and developing the leaders of tomorrow.
