The IT environment at the University of Michigan is a highly distributed one, with many schools, colleges and other units providing substantial services, in addition to those provided by central units. Through the Roadmap Initiative, we are defining a new collaborative method for decision-making about information technology that fits with the highly distributed nature of our institution, but reflects our desire and need for coordination.

Background information on the initiative is available in a memo sent by James Hilton to the Deans, Directors, and Department Heads mailing list in July 2002.
