Copy of Ian Cooper's presentation at the UKOLN/Mimas "Engagement, Impact, Value" workshop, 24 May 2010.
Based within the Information Services department at the University of Kent the JISC Monitoring Unit provides JISC with the information it requires to effectively manage the services it funds. The Unit regularly collects and analyses data from each of the services, publishing reports as required by JISC for its relationship and portfolio management. These reports track performance against defined service levels, as well as measuring service usage over time.
The JISC Monitoring Unit provides service Information Sheets to inform JISC and its Chairs committee's annual Services Portfolio Review.
The sheets provide a snapshot of costs, usage levels (including projected use for three years where possible), market penetration and perceived value within the user community. (More...)
"The JISC Monitoring Unit is a primary source of information for demonstrating the efficiency, impact and value of the infrastructure and services provided by JISC to UK education."
