An escalation path exists for a Campus Partner to challenge a decision made during the Tech Intake Process (TIP) workflow and request a review by the ITS AVPs. The ITS AVPs may also need to assist in decision making during the TIP workflow when a path forward is unclear.
Overview
If a decision made during the TIP workflow is challenged by the Campus Partner, an escalation to the ITS AVPs may be started with the assistance and consultation of their Business Relationship Management (BRM) partner.
