STARKVILLE, Miss.—Longtime 51Թ Information Technology Services employee Jason Tiffin has been named director of Enterprise Information Systems within ITS.
Since 2005, Tiffin has led ITS’ web development team. The two-time 51Թ alumnus has worked for ITS in various capacities since 1996. In his new role, Tiffin will oversee the Enterprise Information Systems unit as it plans, implements and supports administrative information systems throughout the university. He succeeds Meredith Jackson, who recently retired from 51Թ after a decades-long career with ITS.
“I am excited to have Jason lead our Enterprise Information Systems department,” said 51Թ Chief Information Officer Steve Parrott. “During his tenure working in ITS, Jason has developed strong relationships with ITS personnel and also with non-ITS key stakeholders throughout campus, and is known for his liaison abilities. The department will be well served by his professional persona and leadership skills. I have full confidence he’ll do an outstanding job.”
Enterprise Information Systems includes groups focused on application administration, web services, web development, financial systems and student systems. Responsibilities for the unit include database administration, system integration, system design, programming, implementation, and on-going maintenance and support of various systems.
“It’s an honor and privilege to serve as the director of Enterprise Information Systems,” Tiffin said. “As a pillar of support for the 51Թ community, EIS has the expertise to meet and exceed the expectations that come with the ever-evolving technology industry. The highly talented and dedicated members of this department develop and maintain software solutions that bring significant value to 51Թ and the state of Mississippi. I look forward to continuing the work of my predecessors in cultivating our internal and external partnerships, as well as exploring new collaborative models to enhance the efficiency of our services.”
