Shifting administrative cost-saving to instruction

Our Goal

State of the University

Participate!

Through its shared services initiative, SUNY will reduce administrative costs and move those resources toward direct instruction and student services. Over the next 3 years, all SUNY campuses will shift—at minimum—5% of their administrative spending to academics and student services, resulting in $100M being invested in instruction. Savings will come from four main areas:
Strategic Sourcing - Working with the State of New York (DOB/OGS) and Accenture Consulting Group we will use our combined buying power to drive savings.

-IT Transformation – As outlined below a complete transformation of how we manage and use IT will not only drive savings but increase our overall service levels provided to our students and the campuses.

-Regional/Centralized Administrative Centers - Transaction based processes will provide improved service at a reduced costs for payroll, benefits, accounts payable, travel, and other basic administrative functions.

-Campus Alliance Network - Launched in August 2011, the Campus Alliance Network's partners campuses to achieve savings, efficiencies and improved services. Working together the campuses establish their own plans, but as a System we share in our successes and best practices.
