Research Computing at a Business University

Abstract

Research Computing demands are exploding beyond traditional disciplines due to the proliferation of data in all walks of life. At Bentley University ("Bentley"), a business university in the Boston area, this expansion has been most readily seen in our Accounting, Economics, Mathematics, and Natural Sciences departments. The result has been a small effort to build a research computing capability at this small New England university. This poster will serve as an overview of the steps taken to build such an effort at a business university, the revelations we have had along the way, and our plans for the future.
