Building a Culture of Accountability with Automated Cloud Operations

Wednesday, October 23, 2024 | 1:45PM–2:30PM CT | Meeting Room 303, Third Level
Session Type: Breakout Session
Delivery Format: Industry Led

As higher education institutions adopt the cloud across key departments of research, academics, and central IT, establishing a culture of responsibility and ownership is crucial. Creating a “governance by default” approach to cloud operations establishes baselines across a diverse set of requirements and gives the institution confidence to scale usage and promote innovation. In this session, we'll cover how leading universities have implemented sound financial management, security, and compliance controls by providing their teams with visibility, guardrails, and automation.
