November 9th: EDUCAUSE Communications Infrastructure and Applications (CIA) Workshop Live
Jon Young will be presenting during the EDUCAUSE Communications Technology Community Group’s (CommTech) half-day free virtual conference focused on the long-term impact of the pandemic on communications technologies in higher-ed.  Jon will discuss the challenges brought by the COVID-19 crisis and how to leverage those into opportunities. For many this brought budget cuts – we’ll talk about how to identify processes and services that no longer add value (e.g., long distance chargeback). The crisis also shined a light on the potential (and challenges) of mobility giving us the opportunity to make an institutional change. For many institutions, this is an existential crisis – making positive change as a result could be the difference between surviving and maybe thriving or closing, speaking on the long-term IT opportunities and changes resulting from the pandemic.
