The University of Texas System is undergoing a major exercise in determining its Information Technology investment needs as we transform from the Industrial Age to the Information Age. The emergence of new information technologies, coupled with the demands of Information Age learners, will fundamentally alter the delivery of higher education in the 21st century. To respond to this challenge the UT System must significantly enhance its basic information technology infrastructure. Only if this is achieved will we be able to support the many services and large volume of information flow anticipated in the near future.
Quantitative studies are underway to determine network technical requirements.
An essential additional part of this exercise is the opportunity for present and potential future users of the system to provide input during the planning and analysis stage. The following key Information Technology strategies have been identified for the UT System. Following are a set of questions and issues on which we would like your views. Please take the time to respond from your perspective as a member of a UT System component institution. Please answer questions and let us know your views on as many of the subject areas below as possible.
