"In these tough economic times"-- as the contemporary cliche begins-- IT organizations at academic institutions have to make particularly difficult choices about how to support teaching and research. As far as I know, there is no institution in such dire straits that it can literally support only one tool, particularly if "tool" is defined so broadly as to include everything from learning management systems to OPACs, wikis to VREs, to course catalogs, to public-facing content management systems that drive the institution's websites.
