The college’s Information Technology Services (ITS) department provides computing
services for
students, faculty, and staff. ”Technology is embedded into research and
learning, student residential life, business processes, and our outreach to potential
students,” says Dr. Cynthia Humes, chief technology officer for CMC and an associate
professor. Some applications reside in the college data center. Others, such as Cisco
WebEx™ for conferencing and Google App for student email accounts, are hosted in
public clouds.
When CMC outgrew its old data center facility, ITS prepared to move into a new
building to be shared with other departments. College leaders viewed the move as an
opportunity to adopt cloud computing, with the goal of more quickly introducing new
applications and services, with less staff effort.
