Why a multi-tenant instrument?

Faculty Success calls their instances of software "instruments".  There are currently three different instruments for OSU.  CPHHS and CoB currently have separate instruments.  The third instrument is used by all of the other colleges/units currently using Faculty Success.  All colleges using this model must agree on the configuration of the common screen.  However, each college has the ability to create customized data screens to meet any unique needs of the college. Data is segregated between colleges so that administrators in one college are unable to see information about faculty in another college.  The benefit of this model is that all colleges/units participating in the multi-tenant instrument benefit from the integrations managed by OSU Information Services.
