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.
