Directed by Dr. Michael J. Savoie, the Center for Information Technology and Management (CITM) focuses on wrapping the business case around new and emerging technologies. We have incorporated several methods to achieve our mission. Our Executive-in-Residence and Faculty-in-Residence programs provide leadership for all activities of the Center.

CITM’s mission is accomplished through the use of internships, team projects, and partnerships with the business community. Clients can utilize services including idea evaluation (The Incubator), Graduate student class projects, and Center level projects (eRepository). We implement this by using a test bed environment initiative with clients, partners, and sponsors and evaluate for best practices to incorporate new technologies into real world activities. Through simulation, CITM can then identify issues that may arise from new technological implementations - issues that result in lost productivity and higher costs in the real world. Solutions to these issues are identified and tested before our partners invest millions of dollars in new technology.

Research in the field of Information Technology and Management is key to transferring what we discover to the community for implementation. Our faculty and staff as well as the community provide insight to emerging technology through our publications outlet, which include books, white papers, and publications. Keeping abreast of issues in the field, CITM shares the latest news in its "Future Trends" newsletter and "CITM Research Notes".

CITM actively seeks partnerships with industry, non-profit, and government entities interested in the application of Information Technology and Management to their respective sectors. The Center pursues grants and donations from organizations willing to support its mission. These funds are used to support research in the application of emerging information technologies to the information and business community and its effect on the management of organizations at large.

Donations are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.

CITM welcomes the submission of papers and articles that enhance our mission in information technology and management. Papers are accepted from within the UTD faculty along with the community at large. Papers submitted to the Center will be reviewed before being loaded to the web site free for all to access.

CITM is part of the School of Management (SOM) of the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD).
