Policies, Projects, and Plans Overview

Policy is developed when necessary to ensure compliance with laws, regulations and best practices, or to protect the assets of the University, including its people. OIT policies will empower, not deter, the adoption of new technologies and the development of centrally provided and distributed client services. Information Technology policies are developed to mesh seamlessly with official University policies.

Plans are developed based on the ability of OIT to:

  • assess the needs of the campus community,
  • develop solutions to those needs that have broad campus support,
  • justify the plan based on sound business cases,
  • define project plans that will succeed, and
  • communicate the solutions and services to the campus community to facilitate adoption.
Evaluation of plans and resulting projects takes place at several steps in the process, not the least of which is the determination of end-user satisfaction with the results.
