• Shortage of IT personnel• Clouds and Economies of Scale• Consumerization of IT• Data, Big Data, Location-based computing and

Data-Driven Decision-Making


• Less folks + less qualified folks = more work.

• More salary will be necessary to attract folks.

• Internal salary inequities will be difficult to manage.

• You may need to take more risk in hiring employees (skillset, turnover, non-dedicated resources, etc.).

Implications


Advantages of Statewide Network

• Economies of Scale

• Proactive Growth

• Campus Agility

• Traffic Prioritization


• Clouds and Economies of Scale– Market pressures are driving consolidation and

moving IT services to private or public clouds.– Economy of scale pricing example: the cost of 35

colleges and universities HR contract is much less than the cost of two R1 institutions (Georgia Health Sciences University and Georgia Tech) combined.

– Library consortiums are the same.

Implications

• Integration and protection of corporate data is going to be difficult.

• All the eggs in one basket requires a really safe and secure basket.

• Some standardization (lack of control) is required.


Consumerization of IT– Bring Your Own Device will change

campus culture, security, and instructional delivery

– Managed/Unmanaged Applications

– Private/Work Split

– Who Owns the data?


• How much loss of control is acceptable?

• Protection of the data

• Change Management of Personnel

• Complexity is about to increase (need endpoint management and federated identity management)

Implications


• Data….• Big Data…..• Location-based Big Data…..• Big Data Driven Decision Making…..

“On the Internet, the First Amendment is a local ordinance,” said Fred H. Cate, a law professor at Indiana University.

What are folks saying about your organization on Facebook?What are doing about what they are saying?Do you even know?

Need decisions nowRequires a reportReport requires a collectionCollection requires months


• Unknown: We don’t need no stink’in data governance.

• Jack Burton: It is all in the reflexes.

• Steve Wright: I don’t want to own everything. I would not know where to put it.
