IS&T's mission is to: - provide efficient and cost effective IT utilities (network services, data centers, software infrastructure, and associated services) to the MIT community;
- partner with administrative units to develop administrative processes and solutions that improve service and decision making, and that lower administrative cost;
- maintain receptivity to leading edge IT knowledge embedded in MIT's academic community and leverage it where appropriate.
IS&T will work within the complexities of IT service provision at MIT to: - improve the functionality and interoperability of MIT's administrative systems environment;
- develop a practical next generation approach for MIT's "operating system" for the educational enterprise (the "student system");
- work with academic leadership on identifying appropriate research computing capabilities;
- continue to build a strong, focused organization capable of meeting evolving campus needs in an environment of tight resources
IS&T will strive to deliver robust core services to the Community based on currently available technologies and will assure that MIT is positioned to benefit from advances in technology that would allow superior service at reduced cost to the Institute. |
