Information Technology Services

We are pleased to announce the creation of Information Technology Services to meet UC San Diego's Strategic Plan goal of creating a more agile, sustainable, and supportive infrastructure serving the campus community.

The new organization integrates Academic Computing and Media Services (ACMS), Administrative Computing and Technology (ACT) and Integrated Digital Infrastructure (IDI) into a single, highly coordinated entity that will deliver innovative IT services, infrastructure, applications and support to all campus constituents.

IT Services is committed to innovation, collaboration, continuous improvement, transparency and accountability. To deliver against these objectives, IT Services is organized around customer focused service lines:
. Educational Technology Services, led by Jeff Henry
. Research IT Services, led by Valerie Polichar
. Business Technology Services, led by Kevin Chou
. Workplace Technology Services, led by Brett Pollak
. IT Infrastructure and Operations, led by Brian DeMeulle
. IT Service Management and Strategy, led by Mojgan Amini on an acting basis,
. IT Security, led by Brian DeMeulle on an acting basis,
. IT Business Office, led by Sheryl Gerbracht.
Information Technology Services will be led by a cabinet-level Chief Information Officer. Recruitment is currently underway for this position. The CIO will work very closely with Health Sciences new CIO Chris Longhurst, with SIO's IT Director Jerry Wanetick and with many campus partners represented by the Academic IT Advisory Group.

IT Services will be governed by an IT Executive Governance Committee chaired by the EVC to provide ongoing leadership, strategy, and direction. This collegial governance will ensure that the IT needs of UC San Diego campus are effectively met by Information Technology Services and its partners.
