BACKGROUND:
The Technology Plan has been updated for 2012. The format has changed from the previous Tech Plan of
2007 and the timeframe covered by the plan is three years. The plan also includes an Information
Technology Department Program Review. The IT department analyzed the operation to develop an
understanding of scope and breadth of services provided by IT. The information technology department
began updating the plan in November 2011. Revisions were discussed and approved by the Tech Committee,
the steering group that assists in the strategic direction of the IT Department. The plan was also reviewed
with the college planning council and management.
The plan identifies short and long term goals for each of the functional areas of information technology:
Applications, Operations, and Client Services. The information technology department has accomplished a
number of goals during the 2011-12 fiscal year including but not limited to: Implementation of the Virtual
Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), implementation of a new Data Center at the Aptos campus, the development of
a college-wide plan for IT services and support and the completion of a number of high priority IT projects
for instruction, student services and administrative services.
FISCAL IMPACT: Within budget planning parameters.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Governing Board approve the IT Tech Plan and
Program Review. The document resides at http://go.cabrillo.edu/ittp
