On June 22, Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost Gottfredson announced his decision to consolidate UCI Information Technology (IT) organizations in non-academic areas.
Effective July 1, Network and Academic Computing Services (NACS), Administrative Computing Services (AdCom), Office of Research IT, and Office of Academic Affairs Computing Services are joining forces as a new organization, Information and Academic Technologies (IAT). The motivation and goals for consolidation are described in the report of the Academic Senior Managers “Big Ideas” IT Workgroup.
Effective integration of IT activities takes time and will be implemented incrementally over coming months. For the present, everything about contacting and working with NACS, AdCom, Office of Research IT, and Academic Affairs Computing Services remains the same. Please continue to work with your current contacts in these organizations and rely on the appropriate help-desks, as you have done in the past. Our goal is to minimize disruption from IT consolidation activities and we intend to maintain current project schedules and commitments.
We will communicate changes that affect you well in advance of implementing them. This web site will be one of the ways to share information with the campus as to our progress.
