Charter

The Operational Information Technology (IT) Committee works closely with the Strategic IT Accountability Board (SITAB) and with the subject-area committees. While overall strategies and priorities are set by SITAB, the Operational IT Committee defines and recommends approaches to key IT issues requiring decisions. Project priorities, initiative management, and forecasting are all important responsibilities of this committee.

The Operational Information Technology Committee asks the Business Services, Research and Educational Technology, and IT Architecture & Infrastructure Committees to take the lead in exploring new IT opportunities, resolving IT issues and recommending courses of action. Additionally, the committee launches special‐interest task forces to address and make recommendations on issues that span all three areas. The Operational IT Committee also governs the exploration and funding of new services as well as sun-setting services that have reached end of life.
