The Prince Ain't Coming: IT Strategy with What You've Got
Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:The Prince Ain't Coming: IT Strategy with What You've Got (ID: WRC0661)
Author(s):Henry Childers (The University of Arizona) and John L. Wilson (The University of Arizona)
Origin:Presented at Western Regional conferences (04/25/2006)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:This presentation discusses an interrelated set of methods, strategies, and preliminary projects for administrative system changes. This approach reduces risk, lowers cost, softens peak load staffing, and reduces downside consequences. Arguably, when budgets are tight and management attention is increasingly pulled in multiple directions, a reasonable consensus strategy becomes more important than ever.

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.
