We now know that the campus has been spending in the range of $127M to $136M per year on IT. Although total expenditures have not declined, the percent of the UC Berkeley budget spent on IT has declined from about 9.7 percent in FY 2001–02 to about 8 percent in FY 2006–07. These ratios are on a par with three other Carnegie-class institutions with roughly comparable data.

For the FY 2008–09 budget process, 13 out of 24 IT funding requests received IT Bank funding. In addition, a self-sustaining IT Loan Pool dedicated to technology efficiency opportunities was created. This year, two initiatives will receive loans from this pool.

The templates are designed to fit the needs of both technical and non-technical projects, and are simple and flexible enough to use for small and complex projects alike.

Integrated into the annual campus budget call, a new process was used to evaluate IT funding requests. The requests chosen for investment this year reflect a range of integrated technology projects in support of research, teaching and learning, student experience, and administration, that ultimately benefit the campus as a whole Top Stories IT Planning Thu, 20 Sep 2007 00:00:00 -0700 Susan McKeehan, OCIO–FPTIS 65 at http://inews.berkeley.edu http://inews.berkeley.edu/articles/Fall2007/1097.html Earlier this year, a diverse committee of campus leaders met with representatives from Google and Microsoft to explore the Google Apps for Education and Microsoft Live@EDU service offerings, and to determine if these vendors' offerings in the areas of mail, calendaring, and web-based file sharing are a reasonable alternative to UC Berkeley running these services locally (via the current CalMail, WebFiles, and CalAgenda services). This article gives a summary of the committee's findings. Top Stories IT Planning Tue, 21 Aug 2007 00:00:00 -0700 Ian Crew, IST–DS 66 at http://inews.berkeley.edu
