The University Support Services at the University at Buffalo aims to enhance the efficiency of its computer loan program for faculty members. Currently, the process suffers from outdated information regarding computer programs and updates. To address these challenges, a centralized database will be developed to track computer locations, types, update statuses, and program versions. This will foster improved organization, quicker response times, and ensure faculty needs are met with updated technology.
