Center for Planning and Information Technology T HE C ATHOLIC U NIVERSITY of A MERICA About CUA Ten academic schools and Metropolitan College Decentralized and independent Central IT organization Coordinated, yet distributed technologies

Center for Planning and Information Technology T HE C ATHOLIC U NIVERSITY of A MERICA Advances in Technology Infrastructure and architecture Tools and technologies ERP Web environments Service and support

Center for Planning and Information Technology T HE C ATHOLIC U NIVERSITY of A MERICA An Evolution Acceptance of plan, projects Showing results “Rolling the snowball” Building trust, confidence Developing relationships Support for the hybrid model Collaboration = success

Center for Planning and Information Technology T HE C ATHOLIC U NIVERSITY of A MERICA CUA Solution= A Hybrid Approach A new structure to blend centralization and decentralization in an effective manner, a dynamically responsive environment for both growth and collaboration.

Center for Planning and Information Technology T HE C ATHOLIC U NIVERSITY of A MERICA Centralization Advantages –Ease of planning –Sensible way to plan for operational costs and maintenance –Ease of establishing priorities and funding alternatives Disadvantages –Lack of freedom for growth at departmental level –Charge back headaches
