IT Organization, Staffing, and Financing
This module contains questions about central IT organization, staffing, and financing. This module is required for all participants.
In responding to the survey questions in this module, unless specified otherwise, please enter data that describe your IT environment during the prior fiscal year (FY2016–17). Prior fiscal year is defined as the most recent fiscal year ending before July 1, 2017.
NOTES: Unless otherwise specified, all questions in this survey request data for the prior fiscal year. Throughout the survey, "central IT" refers to the centralized information technology services and support organization reporting to the highest-ranking information technology administrator/officer in the institution. For CDS participants from central offices of multicampus systems and community college districts, "institution" refers to the central office only, not the entire multicampus entity. For all other participants, "institution" refers to the individual college or university (typically referred to as a "campus"). Please refer to the CDS glossary for definitions of other terms in the survey.

13a. Out of the central IT expenditures entered in Question 10, approximately what percentage was spent to run, grow, and transform the institution in the prior fiscal year? (optional)
NOTES: Transform: Was the spending revolutionary? If yes, then count as transform. Include spending to plan and implement transformative change; or change that supports new “customers,” programs, services, or other sources of value; or entirely new methods of running the institution or its programs and services. Examples include developing a new online degree program, building an international campus, implementing applications for significantly re-architected business processes, implementing a CRM system for the first time, or implementing an institutional analytics program. Run: If not transform, then did the spending keep the lights on? If yes, then count as run. Include spending on ongoing operations. Grow: If not transform or run, then did the spending expand capacity or increase effectiveness? If yes, then count as grow. Include spending to accommodate incremental growth and improvements. Examples might include supporting an expansion of students, faculty, or staff or a new satellite campus, upgrading an existing application, or replacing an application without significantly redesigning the business processes it supports.

14. How many full-time equivalent (FTE) staff—including clerical, support, and management staff—and students were employed in central IT in each of the IT domain areas below for the prior fiscal year?
NOTES: To answer this question: Enter total FTE estimates first. After entering total FTE estimates, domain area cells will unlock and item 9 will be calculated automatically. If you had no staff or students in an IT domain area, enter 0. For partial FTEs, please use decimal numbers. For this question to be complete, all rows must have any of the following: a positive value, 0, or “Unable to estimate” checked. Student number should be entered in FTEs. This may be different from the total number of student workers in central IT. For example, 4 students working 10 hours a week each would count as 1 FTE. The following methods may be used to calculate this number: If you know the total number of student worker hours allocated to central IT during the fiscal year, divide that number by 2,000 (number of hours/year based on a 40-hour workweek). If you know the total number of dollars used for student workers, divide that number by the average hourly wage and then divide the result by 2,000. Please include fixed-term employees. Even if you do not use this taxonomy in your institution, please redistribute your FTE numbers according to these definitions

Q15 | Distributed IT
15b. Please estimate distributed IT expenditures and staffing at your institution during the prior FY.
NOTE: Recommendations for measuring the cost of distributed IT were developed by ECAR working groups and published in Calculating the Costs of Distributed IT Staff and Applications (https://library.educause.edu/resources/2015/8/calculating-the-costs- of-distributed-it-staff-and-applications).
FOR EXPENDITURES: If you had no IT expenditures outside central IT, enter 0. These expenditures would include compensation for distributed IT personnel, hardware, software, licenses, and so forth. For assistance with this question, your institution's chief business officer may be able to provide an estimate of distributed IT expenditures. ©2017 EDUCAUSE. Reproduction by permission only. This the EDUCAUSE Core Data Service annual survey. Submit official responses through the CDS Portal at www.educause.edu/coredata. Colleges and universities use the CDS benchmarking service to inform their IT strategic planning and management. Learn more on the Core Data Service website: www.educause.edu/coredata 11 FOR IT STAFF FTE: Staff who don’t report to central IT but who work 50% or more on IT activities and who have IT staff job titles (programmers, DBAs, etc.) consistent with the CDS domain definitions should be counted. These staff will typically be discovered via HR or budget queries. This approach will almost certainly underestimate the total amount of distributed IT work, but the consistency across institutions and over time outweighs that gap. If no IT personnel were employed outside the central IT organization, enter 0. For assistance with this question, your institutional HR office may be able to provide an estimate of the number of IT positions at your institution.
FOR IT STUDENT FTE: Student number should be entered in FTEs. This may be different from the total number of student workers in distributed IT. For example, 4 students working 10 hours a week each would count as 1 FTE. The following methods may be used to calculate this number: If you know the total number of student worker hours allocated to distributed IT during the fiscal year, divide that number by 2,000 (number of hours/year based on a 40-hour workweek). If you know the total number of dollars used for student workers, divide that number by the average hourly wage and then divide the result by 2,000. For assistance with this question, your institutional HR office may be able to provide an estimate of the number of IT student positions at your institution.
