UMB IT Standards and Policies
Updated November 2003
Problem:
UMB is an extremely complex environment with sophisticated information processing occurring throughout the campus. UMB is subject to numerous federal and state regulations related to management of Information Technology resources. To ensure that the campus manages IT resources in legal, efficient, and appropriate ways it is necessary to develop policies, standards, and best practices for use of UMB IT resources.
