Purpose
- Identifies university-wide IT issues and potential opportunities in consultation with various stakeholders.
- Serves an advisory role on university-wide IT projects, initiatives, and issues that have an impact on the greater OSU community.
- Develops recommendations and/or proposals for addressing such issues, and identifies and evaluates alternative approaches (including costs, issues of user support/training, and effectiveness evaluation).
- Submits proposals for review and approval to the VP I&T, Provost's Council, and/or other university bodies, as appropriate.
- Forms and/or manages working groups to develop, implement, and evaluate specific technology solutions proposed or approved for specific issues.
The ITCT responds to four key observations:
- Oregon State University consists of many talented and dedicated IT professionals throughout our campuses. Regular interactions at the IT leadership level help to promote information sharing, inclusivity, and communication between all levels of OSU IT.
- Many IT tools and products span teaching, research, and administrative functions. Coordination and collaboration at the IT leadership level makes it possible to leverage potential savings across the three functional areas.
- Technology implementation should be driven by the needs of the community. Simultaneously, technology can be responsible for expanding and redefining opportunities. The ITCC helps to create opportunities for technology innovation to happen.
- By sharing experiences and collaboratively planning activities, IT leaders can make more informed decisions, utilize university funds wisely, and work cohesively to advance OSU's mission and strategic goals.
Membership
The ITCT consists of senior IT leaders across OSU; the CIO and Vice Provost for Information & Technology serves as an ex-officio member.
