Technology at Berkeley Site Navigation:
FY 2007–2008 marks a major step forward in Information Technology (IT) activity-based budgeting for the campus. Integrated with the annual campus budget call, a new process was used to evaluate IT funding requests. In April, the Campus Technology Council, made up of Associate CIOs representing constituent groups on campus, evaluated 36 IT funding requests constituting more than $20 million in total need. While the CTC found value in each request, limited resources necessitated a prioritization process to identify the projects with the greatest strategic alignment and campus impact. The campus Chief Information Officer Shelton Waggener used the CTC's evaluation and priorities to inform the funding recommendations he submitted to the Chancellor, who then made the final funding decisions and created an IT Bank from which the selected requests were funded.
The requests chosen for investment this year reflect support for a range of integrated technology projects which address the critical areas identified by the IT Strategic Plan:
Research: $954,000
Teaching and Learning: $1,075,000
Student Experience: $1,600,000
Administration: $796,000
Security and Reliability: $1,145,000
Governance: $180,000
-----------------------------
Total: $5,750,000
Allocations from the IT Bank for FY 2007–2008 have been approved as temporary funding, as shown in the table below. Note that lack of an allocation from the IT Bank for these projects does not necessarily mean that the project will not move forward. Some units have chosen to proceed with their projects using funding from other sources.
