Live from HighEdWebDev 2007: Making the case for resources for web services

Martine Lafleur, one of this year’s guest bloggers, covered the session presented by Doug Ruschman from Xavier University: “Making the Case for Resources for Web Services. This is Martine’s first post.

Doug Ruschman from Xavier University made a solid case for resources for web services in his presentation this afternoon. Drawing from his own experience: the web services team at Xavier went, in just two years, from a “two guys shop” to a team of 9 people.

And, he is still hiring…

Today, the web services team at Xavier is a major asset supporting the university initiatives. How did he do that?

So Xavier web services are now where every web team should be in 2007: a
team big enough to do the work and present in almost all discussions about
the university’s future.
