now if we can just get an IT guy for the main campus!
ReplyDeleteFAMU has 50 people in EIT funded through title III. Dr. Ammons says we have the best CIO in SUS and Seniors is the smartest person he has ever met. What more could you want.
ReplyDeleteWelcome Mr. Persaud! We have plenty to do. We expect to be world leader. You can do it.
ReplyDeleteI'm just waiting on the online campus to hit the web running! I understand that its in the works. If done correctly, its going to be awesomely powerful. Go FAMU.
ReplyDelete5:06--you are kidding right. EIT on the FAMU campus is pathetic. They do not even know what they should be doing, much less how to do it.

ReplyDeleteSeriously nobody on FAMU campus trust EIT. You put in a ticket and you be lucky if they ever get a response. They give you more excuses than solutions to any giving problem. Of course Ammons is going to say that about somebody he appointed. Also 50 people to run a campus of this size are not enough. FSU has 30 to 50 programmers to handle their Enterprise Resource Planning alone that not including blackboard and the other systems they have going on campus. Departments like Network Security, Network Services, Web Services, Support Services, Exchange Servers... etc needs a staff of at least at LEAST 10 each so 50 is nowhere near enough. Hell does EIT even have a Technical Desktop Support department to service the needs of all the departments on campus, that alone needs one tech for every 100 to 150 PC's on campus or a Classroom support department. Bottom line 50 is not enough for a school trying to have 15k students and what 1000+ Faculty and staff. They need more staff if they want to keep up with emerging new technology and help to effectively support their current customers.

ReplyDeleteYou are absolutely right about FAMU's EIT department. Unfortunately right.
5:06 has got to be attempting sarcasism. Ammons appointed his cousin. Period. Seniors has never worked anywhere other than FAMU under the incompetence of Sterling Adams. However sad all of the "hook-up" appointments are we can hold fast and firm that the walls will come tumbling down and Ammons will have to answer.
