Projects in the JISC Managing Research Data Programme, and other institutions considering how to implement research data management systems and associated change, may be interested in a suite of infoKits from JISC infoNet and the JISC Flexible Service Delivery Programme.
The infoKits on 'Enterprise Architecture', 'Cloud Computing' and 'Costing Technology and Services' may be of interest.
Please see below from Alex Hawker, JISC Programme Manager:
> Through the synthesis of outputs, experiences and lessons learned by projects from the Flexible Service Delivery programme (August 2009- July 2011), together with some wider desk research, JISC infoNet have just launched a suite of resources, aimed at ‘Improving Organisational Efficiency’.
> There are 10 infoKits as part of this series, and each offer useful information, advice and guidance on various approaches and technologies that institutional managers can invest in as solutions to organisational efficiency. Each infoKit is based on real organisational experiences, and provides links to a number of case studies captured in the new infoNet Case Study Repository.
> The series includes:
> 1. Seven new infoKits, including Enterprise Architecture, Shared Services, Costing technology and services and Cloud Computing, as well as material on the technology lifecycle, advice on getting more from existing investments and a look at the technology implications of mergers and restructures.
> 2. Three updated infoKits to coincide with the new additions: with Process Improvement superseding the Process Review infoKit, Selecting Technologies providing an upgrade to the former System Selection infoKit, and Working with Commercial Suppliers building on the previous Contract Negotiation infokit.
