Information Technology Services (ITS) continues to work on targeted projects identified in the IT Strategic Plan, specifically related to the rebuild of a downsized data center, migration of services to the cloud, and the implementation of a new CRM (constituent relationship management) system. This work, in addition to University office relocations and scheduled updates of university classrooms and computing labs, requires that daily operations, work orders, enhancement requests, and project work are being evaluated to focus resources in these areas.
For the next 10-12 weeks, K-Staters may experience increased response times and project delays as efforts are directed toward being prepared to support the campus community for the beginning of Fall semester.
Throughout the summer, ITS will provide project status updates for units that have requested projects from ITS. For the latest status updates, go to k-state.edu/it-strategic-planning.
About a year ago, Information Technology began a strategic planning effort to rethink information technology services at K-State. Working in partnership with the Plante Moran consulting firm, we engaged hundreds of K-Staters to evaluate current and future information technology services. See the IT Strategic Plan.
In conjunction with the IT Strategic Planning process, to address the challenges within the plan and to better align information technology with future needs of the university and the changing IT environment, we are announcing a restructuring of staff within Information Technology Services (ITS).
ITS will take four existing positions and create an IT chief operating officer/deputy CIO for enterprise technology, a deputy CIO for strategy, planning & enterprise architecture, a deputy CIO for emerging technology & innovation, and a deputy CIO for business intelligence & analytics. The Chief Information Officer, the Chief Information Security Officer and these four positions will comprise the leadership team for Information Technology Services.
