Letter from the Vice President In June 2001, just over ten years ago, I joined the Princeton University community. Since that time, I have had a chance to work with, and among, a unique community of people. I have also been given a rare opportunity to oversee an organization as it is changing and evolving to meet the needs of the greater community it serves. This annual report is a special edition that summarizes our efforts to support the University’s information technology needs of this past year and, at the same time, looks back at the beginnings of the OIT organization and the many achievements that have moved IT at Princeton “ten years forward.” From the beginning, OIT inherited a strong and robust technical infrastructure. With this solid infrastructure in place, we were able to turn our primary focus to improving our organizational effectiveness and expanding our role as a service organization. This new focus led to our now long-standing mission statement and goals, which continue to guide us in our efforts to deliver information technology products and services that meet the needs of the Princeton community and achieve the highest level of customer satisfaction. In its first year as a new organization, OIT developed an “IT governance model” of appropriate advisory councils, to ensure that decisions about IT products and services reflected the needs of the community. This governance model provides a mechanism for faculty, staff, and students to partner with OIT to collectively determine the strategic direction of IT at Princeton. The Senior Advisory Group on IT (SAGIT) advises the Provost on funding for strategic IT initiatives. The Enterprise Systems Planning Group (ESPG) helps prioritize administrative and academic system needs. The Project Management Team (PMT) provides leadership and guidance on the delivery of administrative products and services. The Research Computing Advisory Group (RCAG) facilitates collaboration between faculty and OIT to provide centralized research support. The Committee on Academic Technology (CAT) facilitates outreach to University offices most directly responsible for the curriculum. In 2006, to help assess OIT services and determine IT strategic directions critical to Princeton’s success over the coming years, OIT initiated a University-wide IT planning process. Over 1,000 faculty, staff, and students responded to surveys and participated in focus groups as part of this effort. In 2007, OIT published its IT strategic plan, “Information Technology at Princeton in the 21st Century: A Strategic Direction.” This past year, and still today, OIT continues to make advancements toward our goals, guided by these strategic directions. One important strategic direction that emerged early on was that of providing support for computational research. We will soon be completing the construction of the High-Performance Computing Research Center (HPCRC), a project that is the culmination of years of relationship building and collaborative work with faculty and one of our most notable achievements. As a result of careful consideration and planning, we are hopeful that the two-story, 40,000 square foot facility, located on the Princeton Forrestal Campus, will support the research-computing endeavor at Princeton well into the future. As we reflect on our first ten years, we in OIT are grateful for the opportunity to serve the University. We will continue to look for ways to enhance Princeton’s IT infrastructure and services and are thankful for the continued support of the students, faculty, and staff we serve.
