The Office of the CIO and IT Services is responsible for UAA's telecommunications, network infrastructure, and academic technology support services. We work closely with distributed IT staff located on UAA campuses as well as with our colleagues at UAS, UAF and our Statewide organization.


Misson, Values, and Goals

The "Business of IT" is managed with the understanding that our technology infrastructure and services must be clearly defined, operated to meet the high expectations of our customers, and remain flexible in order to respond to UAA's changing needs.

Our work is organized around our mission, values and goals:

Mission

Our values include Excellence, Customer Focus, Innovation, Honesty, Integrity, Mutual Respect, Teamwork & Stewardship

Goals

We focus our energy and work around nine IT Services Goals that are keyed against our Mission, Values and UAA's strategic technology plan.


ITIL Philosophy

IT Services' organization uses an ITIL framework. We have fully implemented ITIL's Incident, Problem, Change and Configuration management processes. Our IT Service Center operates as an ITIL Service Bureau organization. You can find out more about this important initiative on our ITIL philosophy, framework, and initiatives page.


IT Governance

Our IT Governance groups have been in place since 1999 and have undergone refinement through continuous improvement, evaluation of our efforts and input from the community.


Policy

IT Governance bodies recommend and record policies on the UAA policy site.
