About ITACS

"Change defines the future. As the Corporate University of the Navy, we must serve as an enabler of change. IT provides a powerful landscape of opportunities to do just that. Whether in our Academic Enterprise or within our Administrative Areas, we must challenge the present with the possibilities that IT provides."

Information Technology (IT) is central to the mission of the Naval Postgraduate School in every dimension: research, education, and service to the Navy and the Department of Defense. Whether in the areas of academic applications and service, administrative systems, or network infrastructure, the university community depends upon ITACS to provide an environment that energizes learning and the technology that supports a culture of innovation for our faculty and students.

The IT Strategic Plan proposed recommendations for improving ITACS. Among those action items were to institute management practices to include an annual IT report and to seek out customer opinions and advice. The first IT Customer Satisfaction Survey was completed in the summer of 2004, and is now available. Accountability reports for FY2003 and FY2004 have also been published.
