Reducing Cycle Time Between Need and Solution
There is widespread desire for an improved service delivery partnership between central IT and end users on campus. Front-line stakeholders feel like they don’t have access to the latest technologies they need to be effective. They expect an "Amazon experience" whenever they use technology. So when central IT can’t help end users access a service or accomplish a task on the timeframe they expect, end users instead look for someone who will—and very often, that's external vendors.
Meanwhile, central IT worries that front-line users waste scarce resources when users buy duplicate services that are already available through central IT. From the CIO’s vantage point, untold dollars are being wasted as users purchase solutions that are already available on campus, if only users took the time to look.
