About the unit/department NFORMATON ABOUT NFORMATON TCHNOLOGY (T) nformation Technology provides and supports all central University T services and is responsible for the institution's Technical nfrastructure. n addition to this service and support provision, it develops systems to support the business requirements of the organisation. The system development function in nformation Technology is responsible for the development and maintenance of the University's key operational applications. The main systems support Student and Customer Administration, Course evelopment and Production, Finance and Staff. Teams of Analysts and evelopers are responsible for developing and maintaining systems for particular business areas. There are also specialised teams responsible for ata Administration and Systems Architecture. While much of the software is developed in-house, there are a number of packages. These include applications from the Siebel Customer Relationship Management suite, MC ocumentum s Content Management as well as Finance Ledger, Payroll and Stock Control packages. n-house developed software includes transactional websites to provide self service facilities for students and staff; information websites; decision support; workflow and student and staff records management. The Higher ducation sector in ngland has undergone dramatic change in the past three years as institutions adjust to reductions in state funding for teaching and as students bear more of the cost of their education. As well as these cost drivers, the entry of more private providers to the sector and the increasing consumer power of high fee-paying students will put a premium on service delivery and cost efficiency. n turn, this will throw emphasis on the development of robust, efficient, enterprise-scale T systems to increase efficiency and customer choice. 6.
