Information Technology Strategic Planning
Information Resources Mission Statement
To provide reliable, secure, useful and easily accessible information resources and related services that empower our students, faculty and staff by focusing on customer needs and innovative, coordinated and cost-effective service delivery.
Information Resources Guiding Principles
Customer Focused - Focus on customer service above all other priorities. Utilize customer feedback to develop strategic direction based in part upon desired new services and feedback on improving existing services.
Accessible/Reliable - Require reliability and accessibility from campus information resources systems and services. These values rely upon each other; you cannot jeopardize reliability for accessibility and vice versa.
Innovation - Promote new and improved ways to solve technology problems without sacrificing other guiding principles. Think beyond perceived constraints.
Value - Implement new information services that represent value to our customers as compared of other peer institutions. Value requires containing costs while optimizing usefulness.
Continuous Improvement - Incorporate metrics to measure performance and verify effectiveness of information resources. Utilize metrics along with customer feedback, direct or through surveys, to identify training and/or resource deficiencies. Incorporate the feedback into the Angelo State University Institutional Effectiveness process.
