Draft UW Information Services Strategy

The DRAFT UW Information Services Strategy (ISS) report was prepared March 2002 by then Chief Information Officer Ed Lightfoot. It outlines a vision and proposed approach for creating the technical foundation that will enable the UW to realize the potential of information technology, including the ability to:

• Provide better resources and services to constituents
• Support next-generation research and learning
• Improve the efficiency and effectiveness of faculty and staff
• Reach constituents in new and powerful ways

The DRAFT UW Information Services Strategy primarily covers technical directions for Computing & Communications (C&C) and OIM units providing information services (Information Services, IT Infrastructure). The UW has been incrementally implementing this plan.
