Computer Modernization Initiative (CMI)
July 1, 2011
A recent survey of computers used by TUSM faculty and staff has indicated that many of our systems are more than 5 years old. Older systems do not effectively run modern applications, cannot be managed remotely, and have high rates of disk drive failure -- putting at risk both data and productivity. In addition, vendors typically do not support or provide security patches for the operating systems of older computers, leaving vulnerable these computers and the networks to which they connect. The goal of the Computer Modernization Initiative (CMI) is to make sure that each full-time TUSM faculty and staff member has a modern, appropriately-managed, computer to support their work.
