Purpose of the Division Information Technology Services (ITS) strengthens and supports the university’s mission of teaching, research, and scholarly application of knowledge by providing the information technology infrastructure, software, hardware, and support to achieve the university’s strategic goals. ITS is comprised of nine departments which work with the university community to provide the information technology support and services required to realize operational excellence, integrate advanced technology, and create efficient and effective technology solutions.
The university operates a wide array of technology systems that support its various academic, research, business, and outreach activities. These systems range from large supercomputers and clusters that support research to laptops used by employees and students to tiny computers embedded in cameras, door locks, and appliances. They include a great number of computers used for research purposes on subjects such as the operation of autonomous vehicles, the security of Internet of Things (IoT) systems, the application of nanoengineering to the needs of the military, and modular modeling to identify new pharmaceuticals. In recent years, the campus has begun conducting research producing controlled unclassified data and has increased its annual research awards to over $97 million as it progresses towards the goal of becoming an R1 university. Many of these systems are located on campus or in off-campus sites in Greensboro and around the state. Others are in commercial cloud environments or are hosted by a vendor in other locations.
All these systems depend on the university’s technology infrastructure. At the same time, the university must comply with a broad array of federal and state regulations as well as federal and international standards. Many of these have requirements around the management and security of technology. The university must have a leader focused on the efficient operation, development, and security of that infrastructure to meet its strategic goals and objectives.
