The importance of Information Technology (IT) to Canadian
universities is undeniable. For our IT professionals, the ability to
network with peers, share information and access expertise and
specialized development opportunities is integral to their success. CUCCIO-CDPIUC
provides leadership and support to its member institutions in matters
relating to Information Technology within Canada’s universities.
CUCCIO-CDPIUC supports collaborative initiatives
with member universities, such as a pan-Canadian access management
federation to support access to protected resources and services, a
mechanism for Canadian universities to gather a common set of data for
measuring and benchmarking, and a secure, online storehouse of requests
for proposals, policies and best practices. We also oversee CANHEIT,
Canada's annual national conference on IT in higher education, which
takes place each year in the spring.
