Common Systems - Central Inventory System
The Central Inventory System (CIS) is a common inventory management and monitoring system. It includes the initial identification tagging of Illinois' State equipment, furniture, and vehicles as well as the continuous monitoring of their status and locations. It is on-line and features a menu for selection needs. It is offered for use by a variety of both consolidated and non-consolidated Illinois State agencies, boards, and commissions and is administered by the Enterprise Business Application Systems (EBAS) Team.
CIS averages 40,000 transactions per month. By offering a common application such as CIS to its 20+ customers, BCCS is able to reduce the costs associated with individual duplication of inventory system operations among its various customers.
