Administrative Domain Advisory Committee (ADAC)

The Administrative Domain Advisory Committee's purpose is to convene stewards from across the university to:

• Provide guidance, oversight, and strategic thinking on information technology investments that support U-M administrative functions;
• Help prioritize new investments and define approaches to optimize the use of existing administrative IT assets in support of the University's vision, mission and strategic imperatives.

The ADAC meets the second Tuesday of every month.

Charge

The committee seeks to improve the alignment between the administrative application portfolio and the current and future strategic needs of the University. Specifically, the committee will:

• Provide a forum for discussions of issues concerning administrative systems domain that have consequences for the broader University community
• Review and advise on an integrated administrative application portfolio and investment strategy for the administrative system domain
• Approve and monitor applications strategy and its alignment to University strategy
• Prioritize investments (projects, resource allocation) in administrative applications and infrastructure
• Communicate strategy, project priorities, and capital funding requests to the IT Council as appropriate
• Communicate about and support administrative applications strategies within their home organization and help communicate throughout the University
• Provide feedback on issues and concerns from within their domain or home organization

This committee is not limited to those assets purchased and/or managed by ITS. Assets in scope include those currently supported by:

• Information and Technology Services (ITS)
• Central Offices
• External Providers
• Individual Schools and other Units

Assets include not only physical assets, but also the applications, services, tools, business processes, data resources, methods, competencies, strategic vendor relationships and strategies for using physical assets effectively.
