IT Advisory Communities continue in July
Advisory communities are an important part of the University's IT Governance framework. They provide a means for the OHIO community to share needs and experiences—not only in order to influence OIT's decisions, but more importantly to inspire action to meet those needs. Advisory communities will influence service roadmaps and help inform future investments.
OIT encourages anyone at the University to participate in advisory communities. No prior experience or technical expertise is required. The only qualifications are an interest in the topic and a willingness to share ideas and listen to the ideas of others.
The following advisory community meetings are occurring in the month of July.
