Office of Information Technology - What is it?
History:
The Office of Information Technology (OIT) had its earliest beginnings in 1982 when a User Services Consulting Office was established in Haley Center. At that time, mainframe computers were widely used, five batch stations with operators existed, and Production Control provided data entry and test scoring services. In 1983, the unit was named the Division of University Computing (DUC). Over the years, there have been many software and hardware changes in an effort to keep up with constantly changing technology. As technology changed, the unit's name also changed and DUC became the Office of Information Technology.
Mission:
The Office of Information Technology reports to the Office of the Provost. OIT provides centralized computing services and resources to the Auburn University community.
