OSU IT Coordinating Committee (ITCC)

The ITCoordinating Committee (ITCC) provides a forum for sharing information among units responsible for deploying and maintaining campus IT infrastructure. It offers a vehicle for identifying opportunities for collaboration, and serves as a conduit of information to/from the Departmental Computer Administrators (DCAs), Deans, and upper Adminsitration.

The ITCC is not a policy-making group, although it makes recommendations on procedures or policies to the appropriate University authorities. Nor is it directly responsible for implementation, although individual ITCC members oversee implementation efforts in their own units.

The ITCC consists of the Directors of campus units involved in deploying and maintaining IT infrastructure, including IS, appropriate groups within the University Administration, and all Colleges that provide their own IT infrastructure, and the Chair of the Faculty Senate Computing Resources Committee.

The ITCC engages in the following activities:

• Identify major campus-level IT issues, problems, and opportunities in consultation with various college Computing Committees, groups within the central administration, the DCAs, and CRC.
• Develop proposals for addressing such issues, identifying and evaluating alternative approaches (including costs, issues of user support/training, and effectiveness evaluation).
• Submit proposals for review and approval to IS V-P, President's Cabinet, Dean's Council, and/or Strategic Computing Deans as appropriate.
• Coordinate implementation of the selected options across campus including attention to user support/training and product/system evaluation.
• Form and manage Working Groups as needed to develop, implement, and evaluate specific technical solutions proposed or approved for specific problems. Such Working Groups will include participation from college Computing Committees, groups within the central administration, DCAs, CRC, etc. as appropriate.
