Infrastructure Consulting
The Infrastructure team uses the term "Infrastructure Consultation" to describe a knowledge transfer between the infrastructure team and either another Engineering IT team, campus IT group, vendor, or faculty/staff member or group. The knowledge transfer is typically around a topic that one or both parties of the exchange are not familiar with, and knowledge is shared both ways. Sometimes there is a pointed problem to solve or system to instantiate. Sometimes there is just an exploration of technologies or processes. The infrastructure team is well positioned to participate in these consultations because of the array of technologies the team supports and works with on a regular basis. Regardless of the intent of the consultation, the outcome results in more informed constituents in the Grainger College of Engineering.
