Sponsored by the UC Information Technology Leadership Council, the
Sautter awards recognize information technology innovations that have
the potential to improve UC administrative or academic processes.

They involve the use of technology rather than research, improve
business processes or deliver academic or programmatic materials and
advance the University of California's mission of teaching, research and
public service.

In selecting the winning projects, weight is given to the initiatives
that are unique, user friendly, cost effective, collaborative, and
easily transferable to other campuses.
