The High-level Components of Governance for IT. View larger.
Note that the IT Cabinet represents a function not necessarily an independent physical entity.
The UF Community includes Students, Staff, Faculty, Deans, VPs, Administration, DSOs, Friends and External Clients.
UF IT governance consists of well defined, formalized, and transparent processes receiving input from the correct stakeholders. These processes guide informed, collaborative and strategic decision-making by UF leadership. The governance organization and related processess provide a decision making authority that is accountable.
The UF-wide IT Governance structure includes the following components:
- Unit IT Advisory/Coordination/Governance Committees to address local issues and provide representation to the Topical IT Advisory Committees.
- Four main Topical IT Advisory Committees: Enterprise Systems, Academic Technology, Information Security, and Infrastructure. Each Topical IT Advisory Committee will provide representation to the IT Policy Council in such a manner that corresponding IT providers and IT users will be represented equally.
- An IT Policy Council that assists and advises the UF CIO regarding tactical and technology issues and decisions, establishes and oversees UF-Wide IT planning processes, and establishes and oversees UF-wide processes towards the development of reasonable and appropriate UF-wide policies, standards, major UF-wide strategic project and budget recommendations that are submitted to the IT Cabinet.
- An IT Cabinet that approves UF-wide policies and standards, strategic UF-wide projects and associated budget, which requires a UF-wide financial commitment.
- The Office of the UF CIO.
