Principle: Strategic
Statement:
Florida State University aligns technical operations and architecture with the mission, vision, values and strategic planning of the university.
Rationale:
The university’s strategic planning activities should drive IT initiatives, goals and funding in order to provide a robust and responsive IT environment for faculty, students and staff to teach, learn and conduct research. Decisions should consider implicit operational needs such as support, training, information assurance, business continuity, expected lifecycle and financial model. The development of strategic architecture for use across the entire enterprise should be prioritized over limited access, specialized or duplicative solutions. Strategic decisions for information systems should always strive to provide maximum value to the institution while balancing the long-term costs and risks.
