MISSION STATEMENT “To be a Center to assist organizations in making continuous advancements in their effectiveness and efficiencies by the Application of Information Technologies and to ensure the region’s competitiveness as a world class – IT community.” Center for the Application of Information Technology (CAIT)

  6. Evolution of CAIT • CAIT was founded more than 35 years ago, when a group of Data Processing managers from key St. Louis companies approached Washington University asking for help. They convinced the University to provide local training in COBOL, mainframe hardware, and other needed skill sets, so they could reduce the cost of sending staff to Chicago, New York, and other remote locations for training. • CAIT quickly expanded the program as technology changed and advanced.
