2 ICT Plan 2020 Executive Summary The experience demanded by the student is rapidly changing, and becoming increasingly dependent on leading edge technology. RMIT has been an early technology adopter, however, the majority of the ICT fleet is aged or does not support the Digital landscape needed moving forward. New technology capability underpins the University of the Future and significant investment is needed to deliver on Shape RMIT The ICT 2020 plan anchors around the ICT goals required to win the hearts and minds of students. ITS will use these goals to deliver better user experience, reduced cost and reduced risk. 02

14 ICT Principles Achieving the ICT goals will require critical decisions to be made around all ICT services moving forward. ITS will use the following principles to guide this decision making Use cost/benefit analysis to qualify risk Innovate the experience, providing Anytime, Anywhere, Any device access Sustainable IT by minimizing impact on the environment Leverage commodity service and scale through a Cloud first approach Consolidate infrastructure and applications Maximize use of global assets Constrain build on non-strategic or to be retired platforms Treat data as an asset 14

15 ICT Plan 2020 With the Higher Education sector becoming increasingly competitive and commercially challenging, it is imperative for ITS to remain relevant and well positioned to support RMIT in meeting these challenges. The ITS Operating Model Transformation will take place over the next three years and enables us to: Be focussed on our students, staff, research and industry partnerships Be accountable for what we deliver and how we deliver it Be focussed on delivering end to end business solutions Be aligned with business outcomes and benefit realisation Be responsive, adaptable and scalable In September 2015, ITS commenced in its new operating model structure. Over the next three years, ITS will continue to deliver the RMIT operating model transformation through: Removing barriers and enabling streamlined effectiveness and efficiency of operations and project delivery Establishing best practice and scalable project delivery capabilities that allow for enhanced alignment with a streamlined set of delivery partners Focussing on continuous improvement and the delivery of benefits realisation required to meet the rapidly evolving technology needs of our university Focussing on operational efficiency and the adoption of leading edge technologies that reduce risk and transfer spend from run to transform 15
