KENTUCKY STATE UNIVERSITY
Regular Meeting of the Board of Regents
Office of Information Technology
October 21, 2016
Julian M. Carroll Academic Services Building
Frankfort, Kentucky
Information Technology (IT) resources consists of the following:
nine full-time employees
two vacant full-time positions for Oracle
four vacant part-time positions which consists of three student positions and one part-time programmer position (all funded through Title III)
Assistance is needed in the areas of network management, cyber security, and training. Contract services have been budgeted to assist in these areas. Ideally, permanent staff will be added to these areas as the budget improves.
Once Oracle is in production, the University will have a total of 90 days of support from ERP Analysts. During that time, the resources needed in IT will be assessed to determine if gaps exist or current resources are constrained. If additional resources are needed, the option is to continue support for ERP Analysts, retain the services of Oracle Managed Solutions or another consultant group, or add personnel to IT if the budget allows.
The majority of the IT operating budget comes from grant funds. The current budget is primarily designated for required operating expenses, which does not leave funds for infrastructure and other IT related improvements. As the budget improves, the goal is to remove the reliance on grant funding and have the majority of the IT budget funded through E and G.
