IT & Media Center of TU Dortmund University

The ITMC

The IT and Media Center is the integrated service provider for IT tasks of the TU Dortmund University. The task of the ITMC is to provide a modern and efficient IT infrastructure for the members of the TU. The ITMC is a competent and reliable partner for research and teaching.
The ITMC bears the conceptual and operative responsibility for the overarching IT services and the overarching electronic media services as well as for the IT security concept of the TU Dortmund University. Irrespective of the technical and budget responsibility of other institutions, the ITMC must also be involved in the development and implementation of all major IT projects or the preparation of major IT procurements outside the ITMC, in particular for projects of general and overarching importance. The involvement of the ITMC in IT projects is obligatory with regard to IT security issues.
