Cloud Computing and Institutions Working Group

This CETIS Working Group will look at the issues facing educational institutions when it comes to considering the growing impact of "The Cloud": third party IT systems and applications that you access over the internet.

While the power of the network and its role in enhancing globalisation starts to enter the education technology arena quickens, IS departments are faced with the question of how the cloud could be used to replace/enhance current institutional based systems.

The group will reflect on current discussions around the area and will look to work with IS Managers who are currently faced with tackling the issue of how best to broach the benefits and risks.
