IT Handbook - Appendix

The Appendix of the IT Handbook contains four sections.

  • One is focused on Sustainability. While Sustainability Tips appear throughout the other pages of the handbook, this Appendix section offers recommendations specific to sustainability and some sample staffing plans.
  • The second section is focused on Governance of the IT systems as it relates to the IT team.
  • The third section is focused on Miscellaneous IT Software or Tools that may be used for targeted SRS operations. These items may not be used throughout SRS processes, which is why they are not discussed in the sections on the core processes.
  • The final section represents the Quickstart Guide for launching and deploying the IT tools.
