Dr. Allmendinger,

This page was built for Delta. It is a short, candid outside read on the College’s operating environment, prepared by CampusWorks + Dynamic Campus from the public record before any conversation with your office.

Your first planning cycle offers a natural opportunity to examine how the College’s operating commitments support the priorities you and your team are setting.

Three things caught our attention.

1. A first planning cycle offers a useful starting point. New leadership can establish how existing operating commitments support the priorities the College is setting.
2. Long-term commitments should be understood as a whole. Delta’s managed services agreement and Colleague SaaS investment provide a foundation for examining governance and capacity.
3. There is time to assess the model deliberately. A baseline can inform improvements within the current agreement and future decisions when they arise.

Why Delta. Why now.

1. A new presidency is beginning its planning work. A documented baseline can support that process.
2. The College has made long-term technology commitments. Their operating value can be assessed across budget cycles.
3. There is time before the next contract decision. Leadership can use that time to understand options and strengthen existing delivery.

This is a useful moment to step back because the evaluation is most valuable while important choices are still open — before the next operating model becomes the default.

What you can expect from a Different Perspective evaluation

CampusWorks + Dynamic Campus will provide a complimentary Different Perspective evaluation that will result in a concise, executive-level assessment designed to help you better understand the current IT environment, identify opportunities for improvement, and determine if your current IT managed services model is built for where your institution is headed.

Deliverables include:

• Key observations, findings, and recommendations emerging from the assessment.
• SWOT analysis identifying strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and risks within the current IT environment.
• Quick wins and areas for growth highlighting opportunities for near-term improvement as well as areas requiring longer-term attention.
• High-level strategies and forward-looking options, including a 12–18-month recommendation roadmap to help guide sequencing and next steps.
• Core systems analysis covering the institution’s ERP, SIS, CRM, and related platforms.
• Initial maturity assessment of operational practices, governance, AI maturity, and cybersecurity posture.
• Prioritized themes for improvement or change identifying the areas that warrant the greatest attention, investment, or further exploration.

Before you carry today’s model forward, get a different perspective.

No proposal. No obligation. No requirement to change providers. No commitment of any kind.

Just an independent perspective on what the current model delivers, what the institution needs next, and whether those two things are still aligned.
