   ICT Strategy  [ staff access only]

ITS in conjunction with the ICT Consultative Committee (ICTCC),  are undertaking the development of an Information and Communications Technology Strategy for the University of Waikato. 

The ICT Strategy will set out how the University wishes to manage and use ICT in its business.  Unless there is a significant change in our operation or business model, we anticipate that overall thrust of the ICT Strategy be applicable for the next five years without the need for substantial review.  There will of course be periodic refreshes of some of the detail.

The work on the ICT Strategy is still in progress.  Discussion and consultation with the various interest groups is on-going, and this document is evolving as a result of that consultation.  Ratification of new aspects must be passed through ICTCC and/or Senior Management Group (SMG).

For information on who to direct comments feedback to please refer to the Feedback section.
