The University System of Maryland (Â鶹ÊÓƵ) Information Technology Coordinating Council shall coordinate information technology activities of the Â鶹ÊÓƵ that transcend an individual campus. It is a forum for collaboration, communication, and joint action on information technology issues within the Â鶹ÊÓƵ.
Objectives
- To seek opportunities for information technology collaboration among Â鶹ÊÓƵ institutions that benefit the participating institutions
- To identify and develop solutions for common information technology needs within the Â鶹ÊÓƵ that are beyond the scope of any individual campus
- To seek opportunities where the size and diversity of the Â鶹ÊÓƵ can be used to common advantage
- To find leveraged solutions for information technology problems faced by Â鶹ÊÓƵ institutions in common
- To develop information technology strategies that make the Â鶹ÊÓƵ more coherent to external stakeholders such as off -campus students and prospective students, prospective employees, suppliers of goods and services, State government, and the citizens of Maryland
- To identify and develop plans for activities that are more efficiently and/or effectively done by multiple campuses or System-wide
- To monitor emerging technologies in higher education and promote the application of these technologies at peer institutions in the Â鶹ÊÓƵ
- To seek opportunities for common information architectures concerning standards, platforms, networks, applications, and data where such an approach will benefit the participating institutions and the Â鶹ÊÓƵ
- To identify and track best practices for aligning information technology with missions at peer institutions, including the use of information technology metrics
- To develop sustainable funding models for information technology that may be broadly adopted
