Why Blog, Why Now?

Well, why not?!  And why wait?

In today’s increasingly digital world, IT has become a central part of nearly all business operations and it’s no different on Butler’s growing campus.  As such, it’s dependent upon us to share with our partners important news and information that will have an affect on them.  Think about it…how many of your processes don’t rely on technology now?  (What’s that? You thought of one?  Quick, call the help desk or get with your IT account manager and let’s get you out of the 90’s!) 🙂

And did you know there are now about 50 people working in the IT department humbly meeting all the needs of our thousands of clients?  Given that ratio, that leaves little time for us to keep in touch with each other and we may miss some significant happenings on the 3rd floor of Holcomb too.

Given these facts, clients and IT staff alike will be able to visit this page to get the scoop on all things Butler IT.  But not just the story from our perspective, we’ll be featuring articles written by clients like you too.  We have every confidence that this will grow into a place of engagement with each one of us rather than simply a way of pushing our PR messages to the Butler community.  How else will we make Butler all it can be without your wisdom and perspective?

Other campuses have similar outlets, go ahead and check out U of Michigan CIO webpage and the U of Illinois CIO blog for instance.

Are you with us now?  Good!  Jump in, buckle up and let’s get movin’.  As a matter of fact, in the Comments below, take 30 seconds and mention some ideas that you’d like to have discussed on this blog!
