Driving digital transformation at the University of Cincinnati
Report highlights initiatives accelerating Next Lives Here
UC Digital Technology Solutions (DTS) released its semiannual report for FY 2025 highlighting the many ways the organization is supporting UC's digital transformation and protecting the security of UC students, faculty, and staff.
The DTS 2025 semiannual report marks key milestones that support the university’s digital transformation goals to increase IT operational excellence, bolster cybersecurity and resiliency, and modernize IT infrastructure and systems.
The report also includes examples of digital transformation happening at the university, such as the BearcatGPT Microsoft Azure OpenAI Pilot. The limited-use pilot, which continues through the spring semester, includes a broad representation of faculty and staff and allows the university community to explore use cases in teaching, learning, research, and process automation in a secure, UC-only OpenAI/GPT environment.
“Digital transformation happens when people, processes, and technology come together on behalf of our purpose — student success,” said UC Vice President & Chief Digital Officer Bharath Prabhakaran. “DTS’s partnerships with UC students, faculty and staff will continue to help accelerate Next Lives Here at UC.”
