Office of Technology Integration - Who are we?

There is a great deal of technology in use at FSU and a lot of technology expertise at the university. Some of that happens to be in the central technology organizations listed here, but much of it is not. A key responsibility of OTI is to help the FSU community leverage the available technology resources and expertise to support the goals of the university.

The Office of Technology Integration, headed by FSU CIO Michael Barrett, consists of Information Resource Management (IRM), Information Systems (IS), Office of Telecommunications (OTC), University Computing Services (UCS), User Services (US), and Northwest Regional Data Center (NWRDC).
