Principle: Standards Based
Statement:
Florida State University embraces industry and community standards in developing and managing technical architecture. Open standards, architectures and systems are preferred over closed, proprietary models.
Rationale:
Using a standards-driven approach to technical architecture reduces excessive complexity and resource use. Standards allow the organization to better control technological diversity in order to minimize the cost of maintaining expertise in and connectivity between multiple processing environments. The university is able to more efficiently meet accessibility and usability requirements through a standards-based approach, including compliance with all relevant laws, policies and regulations.
