PC Week magazine has ranked Indiana University eighth among educational institutions and 13th overall in its "Government and Education Fast-Track 100."
The ranking identifies the country's most innovative users of information technology (IT) in the public sector and includes the Smithsonian Institution, the Federal Reserve and the Utah System of Higher Education. PC Week noted that "Fast-Track" public sector institutions such as IU are using emerging technologies in creative ways to revolutionize how they deliver information and services to stakeholders.
Looking at the extent to which advanced information technology has penetrated each institution, PC Week used a scoring model that weighed the use and availability of technologies such as electronic commerce, intranet, data warehousing, Java and high-speed networking technologies such as asynchronous transfer mode and Gigabit Ethernet to create its "Fast-Track 100."
IU has been particularly successful in the past year in providing desktop productivity tools through the Microsoft Enterprise License Agreement and in making major national and international contributions to the development of next-generation network architectures and infrastructures such as Abilene and TransPAC. In November, the magazine will publish its third annual "Fast-Track 500." This is the first year PC Week, which is recognized as a leader in covering IT issues and reaches more than 400,000 subscribers through its on-line and print magazines, has evaluated government and educational institutions.
