The ICT Strategy of the Technische Universität München

The Technische Universitat Munchen (TUM) realigns its information and communication technology (ICT) strategically in co-operation with the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ). This realignment is accomplished under guidance of the Chief Information Officer (CIO) in accordance with the overall strategy of TUM by means of closely interconnected projects in the areas of organisation, campus management, eLearning and ICT infrastructure. Basis of success are standardisation of the organisational and technical solutions as well as the university-wide integration of all groups involved. Whilst processes and technology are harmonised, responsibility for research, teaching and contents remains with the different organisational units. This paper motivates the strategy and gives an overview over the resulting organisational and technical projects and measures.
