Business Information System (BIS)

Purpose of the BIS

The Business Information System (BIS) is a comprehensive online business tool that has been developed to record and manage the University's business activities. The system records details on the following University business activities:

business names
domain names
commercial activities
contracts and agreements, including deeds
entities
leases
memoranda of understanding (MOU)
patents
trademarks.

The BIS is designed to:

support the local registration and management of business activities
provide email notifications of registration and of BIS approval following registration
be the primary University system supporting the renewal processes and the management of the expiry of business activities
allow the University to identify related business activities and existing arrangements with companies or organisations, and
allow faculties and units to generate reports on business information stored in the BIS.

This system is managed by University Records. Please contact the BIS Administrator (see Contacts) for further details.
