N etwork is designed to provide front-line support to faculty, staff and students by professionals focused on the needs of their specific college, department or division. Today, the Network has evolved into a working relationship that leverages the advantages of distributing support resources. This model of support is derived from the IT Strategic Plan for the University of Memphis.
Most successful partnerships have a clearly defined division of duties.
Likewise, long-lasting partnerships must focus on compromise, flexibility and trust. Most importantly, the most powerful of partnerships have a common set of goals and ideals. To maintain this partnership, everyone taking part in the Local Support Provider Network must identify and agree upon a shared set of principles. We are committed to the principles of intellectual freedom, innovation, creativity, equity, and equal opportunity. We are change agents and catalysts in supporting the campus in its development of functionally comprehensive information technology systems.
