Technology Policy & Procedures

 
ITS Priorities
Priority #1: ENSURING THE SECURITY OF DATA AND THE AVAILABILITY OF ADMINISTRATIVE APPLICATIONS. These tasks must be done correctly every day, every time. This is ITS' fundamental responsibility.
 
Priority #2: ENSURING THAT THE UNIVERSITY COMMUNITY CAN COMMUNICATE AMONG THEMSELVES AND WITH THE OUTSIDE WORLD. Telephones need to work when the receiver is picked up; workstations need to connect to our mainframes and servers when the enter key is depressed; and the outside world needs to have continual access to our websites and web services. ITS works with technology specialists across the campus to establish standards, ensure interoperability and interconnectivity between departments, and plan for future volume and service needs.
 
Priority #3: PROVIDING THE UNIVERSITY WITH COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES IN RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION. By creating technological tools that differentiate SFA from our competitors and make us a more attractive higher education choice, ITS participates in the overall University effort to attract qualified students, faculty, and staff.
 
Priority #4: CONTINUALLY IMPROVING INTERNAL UNIVERSITY APPLICATIONS. ITS provides customization to vendor products (e.g. SCT administrative systems) and writes tailored applications for internal customers that streamline administrative processes and/or save budget dollars.
