Session Type:
Professional Development
A review by three independent CIOs painted an ugly picture of the state of information technology at ASU in 2004. The basic assessment was that administrative systems were at the end of their life and subject to unpredictable failure; there was no strategy or institutional will to address the issues, and even if the drive could be found it would likely take five to ten years and $70•$100 million to implement. Twenty months and $20 million later, ASU systems have been replaced. Hear how ASU did it. This session will discuss the project principles, methodologies, and best practices that were used.
