Buy, Build, and Borrow: Planning for Support in the New Open Environment
Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Buy, Build, and Borrow: Planning for Support in the New Open Environment (ID: SAC0512)
Author(s):Scott E. Siddall (Denison University) and Randall J. Stiles (Colorado College)
Origin:Presented at SAC Conferences (08/08/2005)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:Institutions are increasingly creating a portfolio of technology tools that are purchased, developed internally, or adopted from work done at other institutions. A hybrid model of system deployment offers the opportunity to rethink the application support strategy using vendor support on an application by application basis, RedHat-like support across many applications, and internal expertise. This discussion session will focus on strategies used for IT support in a hybrid environment.
