Strategic Technologies
Technology Is a Tool, Not the Starting Point
Considering a new technology or an expansion of a system already in use at ISU?
Strategic technology work begins by understanding the problem we are trying to solve. Requests for new or expanded technology start with the Innovation Hub, where the Systems & Process Improvement team uses a discovery process developed in partnership with the Strategic Technologies team to understand the users, current process, existing technology, desired outcomes, and whether the need involves process, technology, or both.
Before moving toward a new technology solution, we consider what ISU already has and how technology fits within the broader University environment—including data, integration, security, cost, and ongoing support. The goal is to identify the right approach for the need, rather than starting with a predetermined tool.
