2 Dr. Barbara White Chief Information Officer and Associate Provost Colleagues... I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your interest and support as we continue planning for the management, growth and sustainability of Information Technology at the University of Georgia. Clearly, in order to continue to leverage opportunities for success in the knowledge and digital age, UGA must strive to provide the highest level of information technology access, connectivity and functionality to our students, faculty and staff 24 hours- a-day, 7-days a-week from any place, at any time, from any device. Critical to achieving the required level of connectivity and service based on industry and higher education best practices, standards and guidelines is the cooperation, collaboration, and partnerships among and between the campus units in addition to the University System of Georgia, state, and federal entities. Recognizing the diversity of the UGA residential and extended campuses, managing the level of expectations for access and services presents a number of challenges including, but not limited to, identifying the high priority needs, requirements, and `real time service delivery from the University s core services, systems and support arenas. The Compact Planning Process provides the opportunity for the University of Georgia, and the Office of the CIO, to engage the stakeholders in identifying high priority IT requirements, a necessary activity in a time of challenging budgets. This approach also opens discussion, improves efficiency, and provides the necessary link to the long-term campus investment planning process while supporting a model of accountability, performance and continuous improvement Enterprise Information Technology Services
