Abstract
Colleges and universities must build and maintain a robust, comprehensive technology infrastructure to provide the foundation for services required today and into the next century. The reality is that significant financial, technical, and human resource challenges pose formidable obstacles, preventing many institutions from succeeding. Rider University solved the problem by forming a true partnership with Bell Atlantic Corporation, a leading communications vendor with extensive experience integrating advanced information technology into academic environments.
