Our Mission

Information Technology Services advances the mission of SF State by ensuring reliable systems and network infrastructure, excellent technology support, and promoting and assisting technology enablement to support SF State's long-standing commitments to teaching, learning, and social justice.

Our Goals

  1. Monitor and implement emerging trends and best practices in the higher education IT industry in order to ensure that SF State remains current as we administer the university's IT applications and infrastructure.
  2. Coordinate service strategy and portfolio management through the alignment of campus IT project intake and prioritization. These processes support the proactive management of the ITS service portfolio, aligning our community's needs with our overall strategy.

  3. Set strategy, harmonize processes, and invest in people through a more unified and consistent approach. This will include the integration and coordination of internal governing processes and a university IT governance framework, furthering our mission of enabling data-driven decision making.

  4. Align application development functions to further consolidate enterprise application development activities. Our goal is to better leverage our capabilities while allowing for flexibility where most needed to ensure the optimal delivery of IT applications and services.

  5. Advance campus information security while focusing on end user experience and services to provide the highest quality user-facing services and their associated enabling functions.
