IT Outcomes 2019

Raymond Lefebvre
Vice Chancellor and CIO
Welcome!
Outcomes 2019 is tangible evidence of what happens when individuals come together, stay together, and work together to serve the common good. With respect to information technology (IT) at UMass Boston, that means serving students, faculty, and staff to the very best of our abilities.
Collaboration, then, is key to achieving successful outcomes when an opportunity to serve presents itself. And as the stories herein illustrate, members of IT collaborated not only with one another, but also with faculty and administrators, all to benefit our students.
Recognizing these opportunities and building these successful collaborations are key to moving forward in any team endeavor. Certainly, opportunity may bring about change, but I believe change must be seen as a chance for good to take hold. With patience and fortitude, I believe good begets good, and success is the result of a team of individuals working together toward a shared vision for the future.
As UMass Boston’s new vice chancellor for IT and chief information officer (CIO), I quickly came to learn that IT is made up of very strong and talented teams with good capabilities, all positioning us well for future success and growth. So, together, we will embark on a shared visioning process, with an eye toward delivering superior service in line with the university’s strategic plan.
What you are about to read is the essence of IT’s collaborative results—very impressive and successful collaborative results. Members of the UMass Boston IT organization can be very proud of their accomplishments. From here, we will build on these successes and, working together, we will move IT to an even more successful place.
