April 2020 Update to the Four-Year Technology Roadmap

April 2020 update (revision 72) to the four-year University-wide technology roadmap is available to University constituents as a PDF document on Penn+Box at:

https://upenn.box.com/v/techroadmaps

The primary goal of this technology roadmap is to help Penn’s technology professionals make contextual decisions within the overall University technology environment. It is for internal use—please do not forward it to non-Penn individuals.

This eighteenth update to the roadmap initially released over four years ago has 65 of the 180 existing technologies listed modified in some way. Four new technologies have been added—wired port-based access control, SMTP-Relay (next-generation), Penn email sanitation, and email sanitation client portal.

An orange box to the right of the technology name delineates all modified technologies, and changelogs describe them on the final pages of the roadmap. Note that the roadmap for many technologies has been affected in some way by the University’s responses to COVID-19.

This roadmap represents the best current estimates of the status of these technologies. It will often revise over time and is wholly re-evaluated every quarter. My sincere thanks to individuals across the University—about 25—who assisted in compiling this nineteenth release of the roadmap.
