Joint Information Systems Committee - Services

Services

JISC promotes the effective use of ICT across non-compulsory education and research. This requires services and guidance to be provided to education institutions, across the range of their activities. As of 2009, most services are now grouped under an umbrella organisation, JISC Advance.

Three kinds of service are funded:

  • Advisory services to help institutions select the best approach or product where choice and independent advice tailored to the community is important;
  • Production services, where a standard infrastructure is required or clear economies of scale and value for money can be maximised;
  • Development services to test the validity of novel approaches and applications, especially where this avoids costly repetition.
