Do you ever wonder whether there are others across campus that have similar business use cases where technology is required to address the need? Does it cross your mind that there are probably others who are also defining requirements, working through vendor selection, implementing and then working through how to find a sustainable way to support the very technology solutions you are working on?
In this session we will discuss best practices and lessons learned from several efforts to build consortiums across campus for applications to meet technology needs. The session will also look at risks and issues to consider, hurdles to overcome, and how to engage others across campus. We will use real life examples of cross campus cooperative projects both completed and in progress, some of which have worked pretty well and others that have encountered issues. Projects examples will include efforts such as Tableau (data visualization tool), Salesforce (CRM), Interfolio (Faculty 360), and Digital Asset Management.
Come and join the conversation on how together we can leverage our collective resources to address campus wide technology needs, particularly in regard to enterprise level applications.
