Broward College Strategic Technology Plan 2002 - 2005 December 3, 2001 | |
Introduction
This Strategic Technology Plan (STP) for Broward College (BC) outlines the vision and creates a roadmap for the strategic application of technology. Previously, technology planning focused primarily on building integrated administrative systems and implementing networks. Academic and administrative technology solutions were planned and delivered independently and there was little integration required. There is now a demand for integrated technology solutions requiring more collaborative planning, implementation and support.
The implementation of this vision will address this demand, transforming the way we do business and drastically changing institutional perspectives. Technology will be applied strategically. Technology providers will deliver these solutions by process, not business unit. We will leverage the existing infrastructure and emerging technologies, and provide leadership to continually exploit the strategic potential of technology.
There is an overwhelming willingness from the Broward College community to re-engineer processes and actively work together to support change at this institution. The success of this effort relies on the understanding and support of the entire institution to leverage technology’s potential to support the mission, goals and operation of the College. Broward College will need to understand the strategic benefits and recognize the impact this plan will have on individual areas of responsibility, challenging traditional processes and adapting to more flexible “client-centered” processes in the future.
This plan is a living document and requires ongoing review and updating to ensure technology solutions continue to meet the strategic goals of Broward College.
