New LSCR rates, and future plans

Filed under: administrative, announcement, strategic planning — Tom Holub @ 6:20 pm

We’ve submitted our recharge proposal for 2008-2009.  As of this point, there are no significant changes to our lines of business; our rates in all lines of business are going up slightly (4-9%), mostly due to increased salary expense.

The new rates are:

  • Annual Desktop Support: $1410/year (was $1290/year in 07-08, $1320/year in 06-07)
  • Unix and server administration: $89/hour (was $83/hour in 07-08, $75/hour in 06-07)
  • Web and database development: $77/hour (was $70/hour in 07-08, $70/hour in 06-07)
  • General hourly work: $75/hour (was $70/hour in 07-08, $69/hour in 06-07)

(See our “What we do” page for descriptions of these services.)

Our strategic planning process is nearing a close, and we are beginning work on a significant reorganization of LSCR’s business.  We expect to develop a significantly improved financial and support model that better meets the needs of our customers and the College.  I think we’ll have something specific to talk about in the next month or so.
