AITS Strategic Plan
The AITS strategic plan was created through discussions with our customers, a review of higher education and IT trends and forecasts, as well as a review of the University of Illinois System and Universities’ strategic plans. Some of the goals presented represent stretch goals that will be pursued as resources are available and other goals are satisfied. Each goal and initiative has a different priority, and the priority changes throughout the year depending on environmental factors such as funding, urgency, University needs, vendor partnerships and human resource availability.
Overall, the AITS Strategic Plan outlines the information technology strategies and initiatives and is designed to be a three-year IT plan that evolves with collaborative input alongside other strategic plans throughout the University of Illinois System.
