Fall06 Conference: Technology vs. Technique: How to collaborate on delivery and design
Host: Siena

Panel:  Gary Schwartz, Director of Communications & Collaboration Technologies at RPI and Michael Feldstein, former Asst. Director of SLN and now Project Manager for the Oracle Academic Enterprise Initiative.

Moderator: Patrick Masson, Chief Information Officer, New York State University of Technology at Delhi

Description: With today¹s diverse technology landscape many campuses are struggling with how to organize online services within the organization. While Information Technology departments have traditionally focused on support issues in order to provide application availability, performance and stability, campus faculty and service providers (HR, Registrar, etc.) are striving to bring more services online to support the campus and even departmental missions. The result is often tension between the technical staff who must maintain an application or service and the end users who rely on its functionality. Come discuss with various campus representatives  issues they have run into as services grow beyond the technical and into operations and see how they are trying to find resolutions.
