OIT

OIT is an acronym that can refer to multiple institutions or concepts, most commonly the Office of Information Technology or the Oregon Institute of Technology. In general use, OIT denotes a centralized information technology function within organizations, governments, universities, and corporations. An OIT typically provides network and infrastructure services, cybersecurity, software deployment, help desk support, data management, enterprise applications, and strategic technology planning. It is usually led by a Chief Information Officer or an equivalent executive and coordinates with business units, academic divisions, or municipal departments.

In higher education, OIT units deliver campus IT services, maintain student and faculty computing resources, manage email and learning management systems, support libraries and research computing facilities, and assist with digital learning initiatives. They often work with instructional designers, instructional technology staff, and privacy and accessibility compliance teams to support teaching, learning, and research.
