When it works well, technology plays a critical role in driving innovation throughout an organization. The need for agile and responsive IT is especially important to higher education, given cyberinfrastructure challenges, the potential for using technology to enhance teaching and learning, and opportunities to make universities more efficient through digitization and automation.
