Posted: Friday, December 18, 2020Newly Proposed IT Governance Structure at Buffalo State
IT governance is a broad concept that is centered on the IT department or environment delivering business value to the enterprise. IT governance includes the processes that ensure the effective and efficient use of IT in enabling the organization to achieve its goals.
IT governance works to engage those policies, requirements, and resources necessary to ensure the efficient, cost-effective approach to the implementation of technology solutions across the campus. For IT governance to succeed, the institution acknowledges that it is critical to require attention and support, including staff resources and commitment.
Over the course of several months, IT has been working internally and with campus representatives to revise and redesign the IT governance structure. The goal of these formal and informal conversations has been to build a process that is responsive, strategic, transparent, and inclusive. Full campus feedback is the next step in our process.
This stakeholder-driven structure uses an executive committee to make final recommendations based on evidence, and recommendations presented by dedicated subcommittees. New subcommittee membership will be announced when the rosters are complete. Each committee has a defined purpose, mission, objectives, and responsibilities,
The proposed 2021 IT governance document is located in the IT Knowledge Base (please log in at the top right corner of the page to access this document). We are seeking your feedback and ask that you please review the document and contribute to our collaborative process by completing this survey. We will collect your name, e-mail address, and department when you authenticate to the survey so that we can follow up with you if needed. We are interested in contributions from all areas of the campus, and all job descriptions. Thank you.
