How Google Apps Changes the Way IT Is Delivered in Higher Education

Google Apps lets universities transform the way they deliver IT. The platform extensibility and ecosystem of third-party applications allow students, staff, and faculty to work the way they live by adopting the web and mobile apps that make them most productive. Universities are taking advantage of the cloud's collaboration and cost-savings benefits, but must still address information security and compliance. This presentation will discuss protecting PII, SSNs, and research data; addressing regulations like FERPA; enabling secure collaboration; creating content-based security policies; managing access rights to documents of departing faculty and staff; and managing third-party apps.
