October 2019 update to the four-year technology roadmap

October 2019 update (revision 69) 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 sixteenth update to the roadmap that was initially released four years ago has 39 of the 175 existing technologies listed modified in some way. Four new technologies have been added—Grants Financial Management, Interfolio Faculty180, Windows 10 version 1909, and Safari 13.

All modified technologies are delineated by an orange box to the right of their name and are described in changelogs on the final pages of the roadmap.

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 thanks go to the many individuals across the University—about 35—who assisted in compiling this seventeenth release of the roadmap.
