The UB 2020 IT Transformation Phase II reorganization of UB IT is a direct result of Phase I efforts to consolidate common services, derive well-supported standards, develop common service delivery tools and processes, and create capacities to address UB 2020 academic and research goals. Budget reductions have added a sense of urgency to the effort to find further efficiencies and savings throughout the campus, and IT is no exception. Developing an enterprise-wide model for the delivery of IT services for our faculty, students and staff will provide opportunities to improve service and reduce costs.
This process of consolidation and reorganization of IT support—which has been underway for more than a year—has resulted in opportunities for savings and efficiencies through reduction of duplication and has aligned our focus on core activities and priority-setting with university goals.
