Embracing mobile devices as the primary way people interact with the university.
Ensuring a seamless mobile experience both on and away from campus.
Analytics are an important consideration for the data available within individual systems and how they fit into the entire OSU data ecosystem.
Helping units to leverage services and tools that advance adoption of technology-empowered courses and program delivery models.
Technology solutions should enhance the reputation of Ohio State as a national leader in research to increase our ability to attract top faculty and students.
Focusing on people, processes, and technology in order to reduce waste, variability, and inflexibility.
Ensure compliance with regulations, information integrity, confidentiality and availability.
Our ability to continually deliver innovative technology solutions depends on the knowledge and skillsets of our IT staff
