Administrative Computing at
Penn State Altoona
Strategic Planning Committee for Information Technology
- A cost center devoted to administrative computing should be created within each administrative department of the college. This strategy will retain the discretion of budget managers but also permit the future documentation of each department's expenditures on computers.
- Each department should anticipate that future computing needs will be
accommodated through their current budget. It has become a truism of information technology that the same amount of money provides significantly greater computer power in future purchases.
- Only extraordinary changes in computing environments should give rise to justification of one-time funding for information technology. Routine and predictable demands for administrative computing should be excluded from requests for one-time funding.
- Future hires of administrative staff should incorporate the cost of a new computer in conceptualizing the cost of new positions.
- Department managers should use the same three to four year replacement cycle used for academic computing in decisions to up-grade computers.
