WDS is assessing a collection of 50+ custom applications written in Perl and PHP for service and technology improvements. We're seeking to ensure their ongoing security, maintainability and accessibility. WDS will contact each application owner to review your business needs. During the assessment, change requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Generally, change requests will be declined unless they are essential to University operations.
