Our team takes great pride in our values. We are:

Collaborative
We value and respect each team member’s contributions. We work alongside our customers to understand their needs. We value cross training, mentoring, dividing the workload, collaborating with our peers, and actively engaging stakeholders in our work. Our team members are highly available, just like our services.
Secure, Reliable, and Accessible
Our services are at the front line of protecting the University’s data, so security is a top concern. At the same time, our services’ value will not be fully realized unless they are also reliable and usable. We are successful when our services and internal processes maximize our top three quality indicators: is it secure? Is it reliable? Is it easy to use and accessible?
Balanced
We employ a diverse, highly skilled work force with some of the best talent at the University. Our team aims to find the balance between challenging work and a fun, stimulating work environment. We know that burn-out is real, so when we’re here, we’re focused. When we’re not, we lead interesting lives so that we can return to work ready to move the University forward.
Deliberate
We transparently manage our work to be in line with the expectations of our stakeholders and delivered according to the abilities and the availability of our team members using clear, realistic priorities. We continually improve our processes and services based on the needs of campus and input from our team members. We use University resources prudently. We move identity and access management forward while maintaining operational excellence.
