2009 EDUCAUSE Current Issues

The tenth annual EDUCAUSE Current Issues Survey has the answers. Administered by the EDUCAUSE Current Issues Committee, the electronic survey was conducted in December 2008. Survey participants—typically CIOs of EDUCAUSE member institutions—were asked to select the five most-important IT issues out of a selection of thirty-one in each of four areas:
(1) issues that are critical for strategic success;
(2) issues that are expected to increase in significance;
(3) issues that demand the greatest amount of the campus IT leader’s time;
(4) issues that require the largest expenditures of human and fiscal resources
This EDUCAUSE Review article focuses on the first of the four areas noted above: the top-ten issues that IT leaders identified as the most important for their institutions to resolve for strategic success.
