Discover Lancaster University Digital Strategy

""

Lancaster has embarked on a new Digital Strategy, shaping the future direction of IT up to 2028. The strategy, which accelerates digital maturity across the University, will drive investment in state-of-the-art infrastructure and the capabilities within the IT organisation to deliver digital change. 


By 2028 IT will be: 

  • A place where data not only drives our decisions but also empowers us to have unprecedented insights. 
  • A fully interoperable, flexible, modern estate that excites our students and staff. 
  • Innovation as standard, self-service at the core of all our technology services.
  • Providing secure access to the data our personnel need to see in a unified way. 
  • Seamless access to all technology from anywhere. 
  • Enabling our staff and academics to identify trends and opportunities rapidly through powerful data visualisation tools. 
  • An IT operation that is fully agile, able to respond swiftly to the diverse demands for resource or project demands from any part of the Institution. 


This is driven through 8 strategic themes, as shown in the diagram.
