E-strategy

The e-strategy provides a cross-institutional mechanism for investment in and development of:

• the ICT infrastructure
• staff training
• ICT skills
• the use of ICT for student support
• scholarly communication
• digital library services
• document content management
• corporate management information systems (MIS)

A 'Students Life' gives a snapshot of the features which are currently available to support students in the University.

The e-strategy document was revised in the autumn of 2009.  The revision places greater emphasis on:

• audience/customer focus
• an integrated whole institution ('Enterprise') approach
• the effective exploitation of new tools and techniques
• direct alignment with institutional priorities such as the student experience, and the resource context

Significant strands within the e-strategy include:

• the NEWBIS programme
• NILE
• e-strategy projects

The University manages the e-strategy through 3 cross-institutional working groups:

• E-strategy Steering Group
• E-strategy Programme Board
• E-strategy Operational Co-ordination Group

Information regarding these working groups is available for staff only.
