IT Personnel Costs

We are currently reviewing budgets associated with the personnel costs of
administering information technology programs within our school. This is
being performed as part of a larger budget exercise to minimize costs and
use funding wisely within our IT program.

It would be very helpful for us to have some reference points as a basis
of comparison to insure we aren=92t putting our program at risk by
establishing budgets which are too low or too high. These will also help
us communicate and defend personnel and budget requirements when working
with our administrative team and Board of Directors.

We are not interested in specific salaries or exact numbers but only
estimates that will help us develop a range of numbers to serve as
reference points. Here=92s what we are looking for:

Size of the organization (number of students, faculty, administrators, an=
d
staff combined).

Number of individuals (or full time equivalents) involved in providing
System Administration, Network Administration, and Help Desk functions.

Estimate of the combined personnel funding requirement associated with
staffing System Administration, Network Administration, and Help Desk
functions.

Estimate of the annual training budget to support System Administration,
Network Administration, and Help Desk functions.

Many thanks!!!
