Goals and Objectives

The Center has been established with three key objectives in mind:

• to serve as the School's link to Wisconsin business, the UWM campus, and the UW-System
• to provide outreach training and sponsored research through faculty and community involvement
• to actively seek industry partners in order to maintain a leadership position in technology

The Center is dedicated to facilitating a match between academia and business and providing a place where innovative solutions to information technology issues can be explored and implemented.

Our long-term goals are to:

• Establish partners, an Advisory Board, and members from Greater Milwaukee area companies
• Create special advisory committees for eBusiness, SAP, Data Warehousing & Data Mining, Web Development, and MIS.
• Expand current customized technology-focused training
• Develop practicum opportunities as well as potential funding for entrepreneurial projects
• Seek support for ongoing and future research in the technology area
• Review and update degree programs to incorporate technology courses
• Act as an advisory source as the importance of technology is being recognized in Wisconsin
• Engage speakers and develop short programs for Center members, faculty, students and the community
