WesternU / Office of Information Technology / IT Governance / Enterprise Applications & Databases Subcommittee

Enterprise Applications & Databases Subcommittee

The primary role of the Enterprise Applications & Databases Subcommittee is to provide oversight and direction for the effective, efficient, integrated, and innovative use of administrative and operational technologies at the institution. The committee will develop and maintain a strategic vision and plan for the advancement of administrative and operational technologies at WesternU from an institutional, rather than unit perspective. The committee will be client-driven, with IT playing an advisory and supportive role.

Typical responsibilities of the Enterprise Applications & Databases Subcommittee will include assessing current and evaluating proposed administrative and academic software applications, providing strategic project portfolio prioritization and resource allocation recommendations, identifying gaps and deficiencies in IT infrastructure, forming and overseeing ongoing and ad-hoc work-teams to address specific issues, and reviewing and developing relevant metrics, Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), policies and procedures.

The Enterprise Applications & Databases Subcommittee will be composed of representatives from each of the major administrative support units of the institution, as well as representatives from various faculty committees as part of the shared governance process.
