[BATON ROUGE, LA February 09, 2010] The National Center for Biomedical
Research and Training (NCBRT) has recently implemented a new learning management
system for its online learning division. This system however had no way of communicating
with NCBRT’s master data management system. As a result, this information had to be
manually entered into the master system. I.T. by Design was brought on to improve
this process. An integration of the two systems was performed and a new registration
system for the online program was developed. The integration of the two systems has
decreased NCBRT staff’s workload and reduced the number of errors and bad data that comes from manual entry of data.
