Mission Statement:

Build, evolve, and innovate to provide scientific computing facilities and the storage and wide area networking systems they depend on in a manner that is highly CMS focused, yet coordinated in approach, with common interfaces to grid, networking, storage.

Make sure the USCMS Tier 1 at Fermilab is 2nd to none in the international arena.

Support and participate in the Open Science Grid, and especially the experiments at Fermilab.
