COVENTRY UNIVERSITY
100 collaboration and dialogue with staff and students before making major decisions on technology investment .
“ We work closely with academics and our researchers to understand what they are working on today and what they need to deliver excellence in their teaching or research , whether it ’ s HPC on-demand or our own on campus systems and services . We ’ re also actively and aggressively exploring other emerging technology areas to see how they can be applied to benefit individual users , groups or the entire organisation such as blockchain , deep learning , augmented reality , Artificial Intelligence and machine learning .
“ It ’ s ensuring that we ’ re not just going out and sourcing the technology or investing heavily in its development , but that we really are finding user cases for it before looking at how we can apply it . It goes back to understanding more about the user , the vision and business outcomes before looking at the technology ”
