The Department

Our Digital Technology Service has been configured not only to deliver excellent IT services, but also to drive major IT development and change. It is a large service focused on enabling, implementing and supporting a wide range of technology to meet the needs of the University Community.

This technology must be affordable, high quality, resilient and meet a broad range of needs.

DTS is made up of a Digital Architecture team and a large Digital Strategy area, which includes Digital Delivery (Applications; Cloud, Networks and Infrastructure), IT Support and Digital Change.

The Digital Architecture Team includes teams for Architecture, Digital Skills, and Cyber Security. The Architecture Team covers several areas including Enterprise, Business and Solution architectures, and includes some specialist domain knowledge around technology, applications, and data architecture. Solution Architects support and assist in projects to ensure that all aspects of requirements are understood, and the solution chosen fits these and is aligned to standards where possible.
