Change and Compliance for Higher Education

Universities grow more "wired" by the day, and have dramatically increased their reliance on electronic creation, retrieval, transmission and storage of data. Many institutions conduct electronic operations with out-of-state residents through distance learning programs as well as Web-based recruiting, admissions, financial aid, housing and other transactions. In addition, the storage of personal data on alumni creates a major challenge in determining what is expected of them regarding compliance and how they will meet those expectations. Managing application change and access to secure data and systems without adversely affecting availability, quality and performance is an extremely important and strategic task for an IT organization.
