Welcome to the Center for Information Technology Innovation
Information Technology (IT) represents both a great opportunity and significant challenge for businesses in our region. The Center for Information Technology Innovation (CITI) matches the resources of the university with those of its member companies to provide a forum where innovative solutions to these issues can be explored and implemented. Its mission is to help organizations take full advantage of IT opportunities through programs of excellence in information interchange, education and research, and through collaborative initiatives.
