The information technology (IT) field is perhaps one of the most dynamic professions in modern history. Rapid advances in technology, along with dynamic nature of IT content have placed colleges and universities in a major predicament relative to procuring needed equipment and maintaining currency. On one hand, there is an increased need for trained IT professionals with current skills; on the other hand there is a major threat as academic institution are unable to meet the market demands due to limitation of available resources. Our solution to this challenge was to create an avenue for institutions to share resources in very innovative and mutually beneficial ways. In the wake of budget cuts and shrinking resources, our solution will ultimately allow schools to capitalize on the technologies available at each institution by pooling them into a large network of heterogeneous facilities that can be accessed over the Internet. A key feature of this process is the fact that everything is handled automatically by our locally developed in-house solution, thus freeing instructors of the burden of trying to locate needed resources for their student.
