IT Architecture

The IT Architecture group works with technology planners and decision-makers (such as project managers and IT administrators) from the campus community, UW System, and within DoIT to shape campus technology directions. We help to:

  • assess UW-Madison's information technology environment
  • identify standards and architectures that support that environment
  • guide the improvement of the campus IT infrastructure
  • align projects with the university's Strategic Mission-related initiatives

These services are made available without charge. We initially focused on the development of middleware services, such as messaging, directory, authentication and authorization, but we have expanded our focus to include inter-system integration technologies and business process analysis.

Through campuswide forums, project teams, presentations, participation in research studies, and publications, the Architecture group works to foster the timely development of IT systems and services on which the University depends.
