IT@UofT Strategic Plan

The Information Technology Services (ITS) division, under the leadership of Chief Information Officer (CIO) Bo Wandschneider, has now completed a year-long strategic planning process.

The University of Toronto’s IT@UofT strategic plan will focus and guide our efforts to support the University’s academic mission through information technology services, informing the vision, framework and initiatives, both within ITS and across the University for the next five years. Additionally, the strategic plan, directed by guiding principles, will provide a clear picture of and lead our IT investments in a rapidly evolving environment. In effect, this plan will shape IT@UofT.

The plan has been created with the input of all staff within ITS and key stakeholders from the broader University of Toronto community, under the guidance of a highly engaged steering committee.

The IT@UofT strategic plan, informed by guiding principles, includes:
