ISC has worked to establish improved cost tracking, charge management systems (Apptio), and processes to better understand and communicate IT costs.
In an independent study of our financial management and cost-recovery, Deloitte recommended that a committee of senior academic and administrative leaders be established to streamline the funding model, facilitate more shared governance, and ensure a sustainable technology core. The Penn Technology Investment Committee (PTIC) was formed with these considerations in mind.
PTIC had focused on “common-good” IT services, and has provided recommendations on which services should be eligible for inclusion, such as Enterprise Software (Adobe, LinkedIn Learning), PennNet, Email and Messaging, and Voice Services.
