The Universities of Wisconsin are committed to a collaborative approach toward driving information technology direction, policy, and development. To this end, several groups exist to encourage cooperation, collaboration, and resource sharing among our universities. Some groups are coordinated by Universities of Wisconsin Administration in conjunction with staff at the various universities, while other groups are facilitated by staff to share knowledge and strengthen the abilities of their members.
