Are we unique? A study in Higher Education IT
Higher education IT seems to think it is unique but is it? What exactly is the unique value? Seemingly a lot of what higher education IT has traditionally done is now able to be successfully outsourced. At the same time in some areas we can barely seem to keep up with few if any commercial options. In a talk burdened with excessive analogies and perhaps the occasional velociraptor we will try to figure this out.
Spoiler alert – I don’t have the answers but you might.
