Jeff Martin
Jeff Martin has recently joined OIT to lead its Windows Services Group (WSG). His responsibilities include facilitating the consolidation and integration of campus Windows infrastructure, services, and Windows system administrators into the centralized campus Windows enterprise managed by OIT.
Jeff comes to UCI from UC Riverside, where he served for ten years, most recently as Operations Manager for Financial and Business Operations. This was a unit formed in a consolidation process analogous to OIT’s current effort to provide the most efficient use of resources and more consistent IT support to faculty, staff, and students.
Jeff wasn’t actually looking to move to UCI, but was intrigued by the WSG manager job when he saw it posted on a UC mailing list. He decided to come to UCI because he was inspired by the consolidation vision, and the opportunities that became apparent during the interview process.
When not planning Windows services improvements, Jeff enjoys cars and photography. He said UCI provides a wonderful variety of architectural styles for his camera.
The Windows Services Group was created in 2009 to help bring consistency, security, and reliability to a diverse array of Windows installations around campus. Jeff’s immediate responsibilities will be to continue to bring this vision into being, but he says he plans to be at UCI for a long time. He looks forward to helping OIT provide managed, integrated, effective information technology systems and services to faculty, staff, and students. Jeff can be reached at 824-0977 or jeffrym@uci.edu .
