Strategic Direction for IT at the University

The University's IT infrastructure takes direction from the University's Strategic plans. The 2005/6 plan founded the current IT governance structure. The latest Strategic Plan (2008/9 to 2012/13) outlines the work of the University over the next five years. It continues to be guided by the core values and objectives articulated in the 2005/6 plan. The Director of IT is implementing the core values and objectives of the latest plan with regards to IT.

University Council recently considered a report on ICT Governance by the Internal Auditors and thereafter recommended that a single point of leadership and accountability is provided for ICT within the University. The Office of the Director of IT is working with OUCS, BSP and the ICT Support Team to co-ordinate the implementation of the recommendations. The following page, ICT Governance Review 2010, provides further information on the process (only available within the University network).
