UITS Services - Bloomington Campus
FY 99-00 Report on Cost and Quality of Services

 

NOTE:  The report on Cost and Quality of Services is prepared using budgeted expenses for the fiscal year.  This year's budget is the first to include the budgeted expenses funded by the Special State Appropriations for IT (the Strategic Plan funding).  These funds were used to support many of the services listed below.  In many cases the expenses were budgeted in this year to reflect anticipated purchases or upgrades of hardware or software.  The corresponding change in metrics or in user satisfaction may lag behind the expenditure due to many factors, including the timing of installations, learning curves surrounding the new technology, and user adoption rates.
