Architecture and Modelling

Related Topics:Service Oriented Approaches Enterprise Architecture

For a number of years it has become more pressing for universities and colleges, and especially their IS Directors, to raise their game when it comes to building, adapting and maintaining their ICT applications and infrastructure.

This aspiration has led to an increasing interest in service oriented approaches, enterprise architecture, cloud computing, shared services, standards, soft systems approaches, various kinds of modeling, collaborative design, improving IT governance, engaging senior management and much more.

This section focuses particularly on three of these areas: modeling, service-orientation and enterprise architecture.

A new JISC briefing paper, entitled “What is Flexible Service Delivery?” has just been published. If software as a service, cloud computing or service oriented approaches to more flexible and fit-for-purpose institutional IT is of interest to you, I recommend you take a look at the briefing.
