Extending My IT Department through the Cloud

Wednesday, April 17, 2013 | 3:00PM–3:45PM | Salon A
Session Type: Professional Development
The challenges and issues facing the technology department seem to grow exponentially: managing BYOD, training IT staff, improving operational efficiency, and handling analytics, funding, a constant barrage of upgrades, and more. When Azusa Pacific Online University started, we wanted to minimize or eliminate all of those challenges and build our technology infrastructure from scratch, in an instant. During this session, we'll share our decision process to turn to the cloud and managed services to meet not only our technology department's strategic goals but also our institution's. We'll discuss the surprising benefits we received along the way.
