Reinvesting the IT Dollar: From Fire Fighting to Strategic Services

Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Reinvesting the IT Dollar: From Fire Fighting to Strategic Services (ID: EDU01112)
Author(s):Andrea Stern (University of Sydney)
Origin:Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences (2001)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:We spend 30% of our IT budgets developing new IT services and 70% on maintenance and putting out fires. Project management processes help us spend the 30% strategically, but similar processes for maintenance services are rarely in place. Using service management best practice processes, the University of Sydney Library reduced its "firefighting" by more than 50% and redirected its IT resources into strategic enhancements within two years of implementation.
