IT Landscape in L&S


Campus has adopted an "80/20" rule for technology and support, attempting to centralize and automate 80 percent of campus IT needs for efficiency and cost containment. Being a top research university full of creativity does leave a number of IT needs that are not of a scale or kind that will apply to 80 percent of the users - and that's where "local" IT comes in. LSIT and a number of L&S units have IT resources for particular situations. All of us, as One-IT, are partnered together to provide the highest level of service possible to the campus. While the details vary across L&S, the following chart may be a helpful guide ...
