The Office of Information Technology works with the distributed IT service organization and Get Advice to provide technology acquisition guidelines and assistance to University of Minnesota faculty and staff members who are evaluating technologies their units are considering buying, using, or developing.

Our goal is to ensure that use of the technologies is aligned with the University's needs and technical environment throughout the technology's lifecycle, from the time it is under consideration to its retirement.
