Survey Report Spotlights Top Campus IT Challenges

Which IT issues have the greatest strategic importance to higher education institutions today and which ones are likely to be important in the future? Find answers to these questions and learn about other current trends in the 2006 EDUCAUSE Current IT Issues Survey report, published in the current issue of EDUCAUSE Quarterly.

The 2006 survey gathered responses from 628 primary representatives (typcially CIOs) of EDUCAUSE member institutions, representing public and private, and associate- through doctorate-granting institutions of all sizes.

Among the report's findings:

• Security/identity management has replaced IT funding as the top strategic challenge
• Disaster recovery/business continuity has joined the list of top ten strategic issues.
• Portals are no longer among the top ten strategic issues.

The report is accompanied by a collection of helpful resources on the top issues. And a condensed version of the report is available from the latest issue of EDUCAUSE Review.
