Technology Advisory Committee

Approved 11/2015

TAC CHARGE: The primary purpose of this advisory committee is to provide judicious advice on technology issues from across all areas of the college, which the Senior Leadership Team and the ITS department can use as a source for planning technology for the college.

The Committee will collaborate with other college committees to prioritize technology initiatives across campus, and make recommendations to the Senior Leadership Team and the ITS Department to consider in the development and maintenance of a roll-forward three year technology plan.

With the growing importance of technology in all aspects of college affairs, it is important that the selected members of the committee represent a balanced cross-section of the college who have knowledge and an interest to contribute to discussions about technology on campus.

The Director of tech Support Services and the Director of Enterprise Information Services will co-chair the committee. The committee will meet a minimum of once per term, or more often as appropriate.

For more information about this committee, see section G-6-8.1of COCC's General Procedures Manual

The following are subcommittee(s) of the Technology Advisory Committee that aid in technology projects: 

Technology Review Team (TRT): Established by the COCC President in 2015 at the recommendation of the IT Governance Task Force, the TRT is a subcommittee of the Technology Advisory Committee (TAC) and is comprised of representatives from the Technology Advisory Committee (TAC) to include functional business areas (Instruction, Student Services, Continuing Education, HR/CFO, IT). TRT is provided feedback from the NPET on the viability of a requested technology project and is then charged with reviewing the technical scope, resource requirements and costs for requested technology projects. TRT will report its recommendations to either the FIAT for projects requesting budget funds or to the CIO and President if the project does not require budget funding.
