UIT Partner Relationships - University Information Technology

The UIT Partner Relationships team serves as a strategic interface among UIT, university leadership, and IT staff across the insitution to help identify and meet demands for IT capabilities.

Initially, UIT Partner Relationships is focused on the institution-wide implementation of cybersecurity tools. Working closely with the Information Security Office (ISO), Partner Relationships helps University of Utah colleges, centers, administrative units, and research groups to understand, implement, and document compliance requirements with existing and emerging institutional IT security policies, initiatives, projects, and programs.

More generally, Partner Relationships works with university organizations to identify opportunities where UIT can help them share, manage, and deploy IT resources, including client desktops, systems services, application services, platform services, networking, security, and personnel.
