IT Committees

IT has a number of ways it solicits information from the campus community.  These groups, along with an active communications program, provide ways for IT to work with the community to be sure we are satisfying the needs of our constituents, as well as keeping everyone informed of projects initiated by IT.

Technology Advisory Council - As the name implies, this campus-wide group serves in an advisory capacity to the Vice President for Information Technology.  The Council attempts to focus on one or two major initiatives each year, and is also asked to disseminate information and gather input from their constituents.

Functional Analyst Support Team (FAST) - The Functional Analyst Support Team is a committee of Information Technology and non-Information Technology campus members. The FAST coordinates and communicates operational aspects, including business process issues of the all campus data systems. Topics at FAST meetings include policies, update schedules, and customizations and project integrations. The FAST meets twice a month to ensure timely discussion.

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Assessment Committee - The ERP Assessment Committee was formed by the VP for IT to assess the change in the relationship between Gettysburg College and PeopleSoft ERP, which was purchased by Oracle Corporation in December 2004.  The committee is chartered to review all information and issues of this relationship change and be prepared to recommend to College leadership an appropriate course of action to implement the future Oracle Fusion or another vendor product.   ERP Assessment Committee
