State of IT 2019 – Who We Are

The University Services Information Technology (US:IT) group is a centralized support organization for the University of Maine System. We are a dedicated team of professionals responsible for strategic planning, oversight, direction and operation of IT infrastructure, resources and support services. We are proud to deliver critical technology support and services for each of the University of Maine System campuses, centers and operations across the state.

Supporting each campus, the Campus Information Technology Officer (CITO) works directly with the dedicated IT Operations Manager to provide strategic and operational alignment of local IT resources.

Working collaboratively, the newly established CITO Council is charged with ensuring campus IT Support Services teams are well-informed and leveraging best practices to provide exemplary customer service to the entire University community.
