The University of Washington Strategic Roadmap for Information Management and Administrative Systems (Roadmap) sets forth a long-term vision and comprehensive plan for the future of UW information management and administrative systems. The Roadmap was developed in December 2008, and is still used as the foundation for the UW's current approach. To learn more about the UW's current approach to implementing the Roadmap, see University of Washington Strategic Roadmap for Information Management and Administrative Systems - Update FY 2012, which includes an overview of initiatives, timelines, and future direction.

• How the Roadmap was developed.
• Guiding principles for Roadmap implementation.
• Five recommended Roadmap initiatives and the action plans for implementing them.
• Alternatives and approaches for the "Replace the Base" initiative. This initiative will involve significant commitment and investment, so alternatives and approaches are discussed in depth.
