Use the Enterprise Service Center for Faster IT Support

As we continue to enhance the way we support your technology needs, we’d like to remind you about the Enterprise Service Center (ESC) — your centralized destination for fast, efficient, and reliable IT support. If you haven’t visited the ESC recently, now is a great time to take advantage of the tools and resources designed to streamline your support experience and help you resolve issues more quickly than ever before.

Your Guide to the IT Governance Review Process

Do you have a new IT project—hardware or software, that you are planning, exploring, or preparing to implement?  If so, the IT Governance Council process is the official pathway for review and approval. All new technology initiatives, including system implementations, major upgrades, integrations, and enterprise software purchases must be submitted through this governance structure before moving forward.

Strengthening Transparency & Fiscal Stewardship in Cloud Services

Howard University continues to strengthen its approach to security, financial transparency, accountability, and responsible technology management. As part of this effort, the Enterprise Technology Services (ETS) team has implemented a structured Azure Resource Provisioning and Charge-Back Model to ensure researchers only pay for the cloud resources they use while maintaining clear visibility into costs and usage.

Network Transformation Successfully Completed

We are pleased to share that Enterprise Technology Services (ETS) has successfully completed our Network Transformation initiative, meeting our project deadline. After more than a year of strategic planning and preparation, all 85+ campus buildings have been successfully transitioned to the Ralph Bunche Data Center, marking a transformative milestone in our digital infrastructure modernization.
