Question:
|
The university is a complex and dynamic organization that requires
responsive, timely and accurate information and business systems.
Business systems need to be engineered to increase productivity
including data and records management while providing real-time, easy-
to-use tools for both academic and administrative unit needs. The
integration of technologies that will accomplish these goals is of
paramount importance. As the enterprise resource planning system is
brought into place over the next several years, the expectation is for
UVM’s business practices to change dramatically.Choose one, two, or
three of the following goals or action items that are of the greatest
importance to you.

Question:

In order for technology to meet the needs of faculty, staff, and
students, there must be direct communication between information
technology service providers and users about available services and
unmet needs. Communication about strategic goals should be current and
easily accessible with multiple feedback mechanisms. The governance of
University information technology should be conducted by a committee,
comprised of recognizable and responsible people, who represent all
units. Oversight and accountability reside with the Chief Information
Officer.Choose one, two, or three of the following goals or action

The
modern educational environment requires the integration of information
and multimedia technologies. Technology must facilitate access to
information, promote collaboration, easily create archives and
portfolios, and become a resource both inside and outside the
classroom. All educational facilities must have a basic technology
infrastructure to allow for easy access, display, manipulation, and
storage of various forms of multimedia information. Classroom
technology must be functional, supported, adaptable and appropriately
consistent.Choose one, two, or three of the following goals or action

Cutting-edge
research at the University relies on both the availability of routine
information technologies as well as the development and implementation
of innovative methodologies. Specialized software and hardware
solutions developed for research activities will benefit the immediate
users and, in time, become routine tools for non-research activities.
The infrastructure for facilitating these information technologies must
be provided, and researchers encouraged to utilize, evaluate and

Question:

Making
the most efficient use of limited information technology resources
while encouraging the diverse and creative activity expected at an
academic institution requires a carefully planned set of
centrally-supported standards and policies. Software and hardware
standards must be implemented to ensure that University technology
tools are reliable and productive, and must be flexible enough to
accommodate a range of interests, activities and work styles. Policies
regarding acceptable and legal use of information technology resources
must be clearly articulated and communicated to the University
community.Choose one, two, or three of the following goals or action
