Business Systems Coordinating Council

The Business Systems Coordinating Council provides oversight and direction for the enterprise systems that support the University’s business operations, identifies and prioritizes technology-based solutions for shared business needs, sets priorities, and ensures coordination on the effective use of information technology resources to meet the operational and strategic needs of the University.  The Council establishes strategy and sequencing for development, coordinated deployment, and integration work pertinent to the effective use of the tools. This Council also champions a common data model, and other common infrastructure where needed, as well as best practices in central and distributed enterprise systems.

The council consists of the leaders of University business operations and other relevant constituent groups.  The co-chairs will be appointed by the group on an annual basis, or on an interval determined by the group.  The co-chairs may appoint ad hoc committees as appropriate. The committee makes recommendations to the CIO and University Administration as needed. 

Meetings are held monthly, or as determined by the Council.
