Civic improvements can be made instead of paying for plenty to sit at home. To create this quality serve well information technology needed to be implemented. This where the BAS or (Business Applications and rear) division enters the picture. The mission of BAS is to provide quality calculator software support through a customer service oriented methodology.A while back, before ITSD, there were ASU (Automated Systems Unit) analysts who lead and co-ordinated automation projects. They would gather up the requests from the different SSG divisions/d epartments, do a preliminary examination analysis, spell out a work order stating the request and/or conundrum that was to be solved through automation. The work order would then become its way to ISD (Information Services Department) where it would be assigned to a programmer analyst who would do an in-depth analysis with the help of the ASU analyst and define the requirements for the automation project. The scheduling would begin and soon, a new program was created and deployed. The requests and problems soon began to multiply and inflate until it was like a virtual snowstorm of requests, too many an(prenominal) for one small unit to keep under control.Help arrived around 1990 in the form of the automation Project Administrator the first of the Automation Coordination Specialists collect together to relieve some of the burden falling on ASU.

They met with the users, defined the problem, wrote the initial work order, which then went to ASU to forward to ISD, and oftentimes worked with the ISD programmers. The two units, ASU and ACU, found themselves still unable to keep up with the many automation requests, particularly since ASU had years before branched out into computer hardware requisition and maintenance.Then came Information Technology and Support region (ITSD). ASU and ACU merged into one entity, a small (but growing) and mighty automation division. ASU became Systems operations and Support (SOS) and ACU became BAS Business Applications and Support.The BAS Analysts do in-depth analyses of computer software requests, running(a) with the users and their management, write detailed functionality and design specs and work with the programmers to make sure that the final product is what the user requested and will meet the needs of the department . Support nearly all software applications within SSG, including the TAD Mainframe improvement Issuance System GAPPS, CWS/CMS and a myriad of PC based applications as well as intranet/internet.A change in technology has occurred in the past, and will continue at increasing rate.
