IT Initiatives and Projects
Upgrading systems, integrating new tools, building an infrastructure, projecting future needs, supporting current needs—all achieved by managing a constantly moving portfolio of projects. At any given time IT Services staff members and their partners in the University community have 40-50 open projects.
Top IT Initiatives
IT Services is focused on several critical initiatives. As a University partner underpinning the continued success of Miami programs and goals, we understand our role in helping push the University forward. This list represents the big-picture projects where we are focusing our efforts:
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
Google Workspace Storage Changes
Artificial Intelligence at Miami
Artificial Intelligence and large-language models have taken the world by storm. Miami is no stranger to innovation and technological advancement, and we have been working behind the scenes to research and approve the use of these tools for our educational purposes.
Identity and Access Management (IAM)
Securing Miami for the Future
Project Ideas
Project ideas come from a variety of sources:
- Work required to meet legal or other mandates
- Work that keeps the systems running
- Institutional projects linked to University goals
Most, however, have their genesis in working with colleagues to seek new, more efficient tools that empower us to be better teachers, managers, researchers, or whatever role we fulfill.
