ITANA is focused on developing the skills, tools and a suite of resources to assist institutions with their enterprise, business and technical architectural needs. ITANA serves higher education while drawing from other architecture groups (The Open Group, Microsoft, etc.) and vendors as needed.  ITANA also acts to help architects build their peer-group and find a mentor or become a mentor.

To learn more about ITANA, see the ITANA Charter.  The Capability Map shows the capabilities that form the core services for ITANA.

ITANA is supported by EDUCAUSE and Internet2.

NOTE WELL:  All ITANA activities are governed by the Internet2 Intellectual Property Framework. Participation in ITANA is separate and distinct from membership in Internet2 and EDUCAUSE.  ITANA is not a marketing opportunity. We believe that if vendor products are well architected, they will be easier to sell to higher educations institutions. We do want participation from vendors and open discussions about their products’ architectures.
