Throughout the fall of 2019, Enterprise Information Technology Services (EITS) worked with a campus-wide advisory committee to develop the 2020-2025 Information Technology Strategic Plan for the University of Georgia.
Under the leadership of Dean Charles Davis and University Librarian and Associate Provost Toby Graham, EITS facilitated a series of focus groups and working groups comprised of students, faculty and staff to discuss how technology should be used to advance the University’s 2025 Strategic Plan.
The input from these efforts was used to develop six major technology goals for the University:
Support and facilitate the creation of the next generation of physical and virtual learning spaces for both students and faculty.
Improve the availability of personalized digital services for students to promote collaboration, facilitate discovery, and reduce wasted effort.
Extend the University's research cyberinfrastructure to enable expanded research activity while promoting effective data management.
Improve business processes, inform healthy decision-making, eliminate unnecessary bureaucracy, and reduce administrative burdens.
Recruit, retain and support a more diverse workforce, ensuring that it more closely resembles the State of Georgia as a whole.
Be an organization that works proactively to spend more time driving improved user experiences and less time reacting to the unexpected.
