July 2011

This study has established the feasibility of a collaborative approach by Scottish higher and further education institutions to a phased adoption of Above Campus IT Services. A range of possibilities associated with such services and their potential benefits has been identified and a framework is proposed for the SFC or institutions to take action and allocate appropriate investments and resources. Seven priority opportunities, some for early wins others with a focus on longer term gains, have been identified, situated in a coherent Road Map and proposals are made for progressing these.
