IT Governance and Technology Master Planning Steering Committee Formed

May 7, 2008

President Mark W. Huddleston has announced the creation of a new university-wide committee to guide information technology (IT) planning. According to Huddleston, “IT is an important strategic resource and we want to be always prepared for critical infrastructure and budgetary decisions we constantly face in this rapidly changing environment.”

The Steering Committee for Information Technology (SCIT) will be chaired by Dick Cannon, vice president for administration and finance.

One of SCIT’s most important charges is the development of a Technology Master Plan for UNH. Another of SCIT’s early efforts will be to guide the development of a more comprehensive IT governance system that involves technology users in the ongoing planning process. UNH Chief Information Officer Tom Franke will provide overall leadership to the broader IT governance system. The proposals for developing a new IT governance system and a Technology Master Plan can be found at: http://cis.unh.edu/unhitgovplan.
