The first phase of IT strategic planning took place during Spring and Summer 2004 and the focus was to respond to the direction set by the Strategic Academic Plan and to create three specific outcomes:

• Guiding principles for IT at UC Berkeley.
• A short list of critical IT opportunities and challenges that UC Berkeley must address in order for UC Berkeley to survive and thrive in the next five years.
• A prioritized list of initiatives and operational improvements to address the critical opportunities and challenges.
