Strategic Technology Coordination

Emerging Technologies Process Flow

The mission of the Strategic Technology Coordination process is to increase the consistency and transparency of IT solutions at Penn by collaborating for long-term architectural planning. 

Drawing upon a wide selection of experts from across the campus to form working groups, we explore new and impactful technologies, processes, and services as well as provide strategic recommendations on solution adoption, consolidation, and alignment. 

Building on the deliverables from this process, future solution evaluations and implementations can achieve more timely and consistent results.

Principles

  • Be transparent and participatory
  • Make collaboration a cultural norm within ISC and across the campus
  • Be responsive and keep it simple
  • Provide concrete deliverables:
    • Technology recommendations
    • Best practice recommendations
    • Draft RFP language
    • Draft Contract language
    • Project proposals
