The ICT strategy of the Technische Universität
München
1. Abstract
Towards the Digital University
Rolf Borgeest, Andrea Bör
The Technische Universität München (TUM) realigns its information
and communication technology (ICT) strategically in co-operation with the
Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ). This realignment is accomplished
under guidance of the Chief Information Officer (CIO) in accordance with
the overall strategy of TUM by means of closely interconnected projects in
the areas of organisation, campus management, eLearning and ICT infrastructure.
Basis of success are standardisation of the organisational and
technical solutions as well as the university-wide integration of all groups
involved. Whilst technology and processes are harmonised, responsibility
for research, teachings and contents remains with the different organisational
units.
2. Short description of the university
TUM ranks among the top universities nationally and internationally.
Since the 90's of the last century the TUM is pursuing the goal to
strengthen its autonomy. Guidelines for the transformation are subsidiarity,
personal responsibility and separation of powers. The current statute of
TUM served as a role model for the mandatory order of Bavarian universities,
pursuant to the new Bavarian Universities Act of 2006 (Bayerisches
Hochschulgesetz).
