Mission of the UNT Computing and Information Technology Center

The mission of the UNT Computing and Information Technology Center is to provide effective shared computing and information technology services in support of the mission and strategic goals of the university.

Functional Mission: The Computing and Information Technology Center’s unique role in accomplishing the University’s mission is to provide the primary university-wide, shared resources of computing hardware, software, data and voice communications, and professional personnel on campus. The Computing and Information Technology Center is called upon to provide computing and electronic communications resources when it can do so more effectively or more efficiently than separate units.

In addition to the traditional provision of host computer services and development of the data communications infrastructure, the center has a mission to provide high level technical services to support and improve the effectiveness of distributed support personnel.

The Computing and Information Technology Center’s mission is accomplished in open cooperation and partnership with its customers and other service providers. The primary mechanism for facilitating communications between its constituencies and the Computing and Information Technology Center is the University Information Resources Council and its associated advisory groups including the Distributed Computing Support Management Team and the EIS Program Management Group. The Chair of the DCSMT is Philip Baczewski, the Director of Academic Computing and User Services in the CITC, and he reports on DCSMT’s activities at each IRC meeting.

To meet its mission, the CITC:

• Supplies effective information technology in support of administrative functions of the University in partnership with administrative information owners and providers;
• Supports research and instruction by supplying shared host computing services, including shared high-performance computer systems as well as a student general access computer lab;
• Provides data and voice communications to the campus;
• Provides expert statistical consulting to students and faculty;
• Operates the primary help desk on campus for computing and communications assistance;
• Supports the University’s central Web site and several associated Web servers and the campus’ course management system (WebCT;)
• Supports the distributed delivery of networked computing services in colleges, schools, and administrative departments;
• Provides the faculty and staff e-mail system as well as the student e-mail system;
• Provides information technology security services and support to the campus.
