Celebrating our achievements and planning for those to come
A year in review
IST launched its first annual report, highlighting a number of achievements from the past year (2017) and their impact on various areas of campus. The IST Annual Report is available at https://uwaterloo.ca/ist-annual-report.
Together we deliver
Developed through a broad campus consultation process, and in support of the University's mission and goals, the IST Strategic Plan prioritizes key strategic needs and highlights the actions IST is taking to address these needs.

Upgrade of identity management system, WatIAM
The replacement of the identity management system known as WatIAM is scheduled to begin on Monday, April 9 at 4:30 p.m. until Thursday, April 12 at 8:00 a.m. While most end-users will not see a significant change, the introduction of SailPoint IIQ technology will bring considerable changes for WatIAM administrators.
Go-live of new Engineering Outreach system, Legend Recreation Software
Working closely with Engineering Outreach, Finance, Procurement, and Information Security Services, IST’s Departmental and Campus Applications (DCA) team completed the implementation of Legend Recreation Software (Legend), an online registration system that allows for greater ease and flexibility when managing accounts and registrations. At Waterloo, Legend will enhance the registration processes for Engineering Science Quest Summer and March Break Camps, with potential to expand to other campus camp programs in the future.
