As part of Rice’s “Ask the Expert” series, Barry Ribbeck, Director of Systems, Architecture, Infrastructure, and Cloud Strategy, and Marc Scarborough, IT Security Officer, presented “Contracting for Cloud Services” on February 4.
If your department is considering cloud services, be sure to consult with the Office of Information Technology (OIT) staff early in the process to assist with technical and security considerations as well as integration issues with other campus systems. The Procurement office and the Office of the General Counsel should also be involved to review contracts and to help with the purchasing process.
Contact OIT through your divisional representative or via the Help Desk (713-348-HELP, help@rice.edu).
