Communication

Help researchers with COMPUTING

not “DHTC”, or “HTC”, or “HPC”

slide-22
SLIDE 22

Communication

Help researchers with COMPUTING

not “DHTC”, or “HTC”, or “HPC”

Form a partnership (people) network

with other IT service providers

Communicate with each other. Communicate about each other. Communicate together with researchers.

“Engagements”

  • consultations between Facilitators and researchers

where Communication and People come together

“Engagements”

  • consultations between Facilitators and researchers

where Communication and People come together

  • before accounts are created
  • involve faculty
  • occasional check-ups
  • as part of other/partner events

By Focusing on People

Researchers become partners

slide-27
SLIDE 27

By Focusing on People

Researchers become partners Support research PROactively vs REactively

  • anticipate evolving researcher demands and new

appropriate solutions
