CAS Computing to Merge with ITS on October 1, 2021
-
As of October 1, 2021 the staff in CAS Computing will be integrated into the ITS organization. The combined organization represents a more efficient, effective use of personnel and budgetary resources. CAS will benefit from the depth and breadth of IT expertise present in a larger IT Department with multiple, structured service delivery teams. Providing a single point of contact (the ITS Service Desk) should help to facilitate the assignment of tasks in the most efficient ways, within the whole of ITS. This unit has a well-developed audio/visual technology delivery and support ability that will greatly benefit CAS conference rooms and classrooms. The CAS Dean’s Office is working diligently to make sure that CAS needs will continue to be addressed throughout the transition and beyond, in close collaboration with ITS.
Brian Heaton, Chief Information Officer (CIO), and his team (including Helen Strother) will address the Council of Chairs at their first meeting of the year, on September 1, to provide more details and information. CAS faculty and staff are encouraged to attend informational meetings with Brian and his team who will answer any questions about the transition, Thursday, September 9 at 2:00pm in HU354 and on Zoom, and Wednesday September 15 at 1:30pm in LSRB 1143 and on Zoom. Elizabeth Gaffney is serving as CAS point person to work through the transition and any issues that may arise. General feedback/concerns about the CAS Computing transition should be shared with Elizabeth at the following email address: [email protected]. Read the Dean's letter to faculty and staff.
