Answer The Unified Digital Campus (UDC)

• An environment in which individuals, systems, and
  communities interact seamlessly for learning,
  teaching, administration, and achievement
• Vehicle for creating, managing, and delivering
  quality educational experiences to each
  constituent
• Technology projects that do not start out with
  this big picture view usually languish or
  provide only marginal value to the institution as
  a whole.

Digital Campus Bottom Line

• The combination of tightening budgets and a
  history of IT project overruns are forcing
  higher-education institutional leaders to
  establish the business case/value of IT as the
  prerequisite for future IT investments.
• Until cost and academic and business value to the
  institution can be viewed in measurable ways,
  projects will not be approved orat bestwill be
  delayed.
• To validate new project funding, the academic and
  business units, and the IS organization should
  work together to determine the overall value to
  the institution.
