The emphasis for the school's investment in the technology infrastructure has been on the creation of a resilient, robust and flexible infrastructure to provide a platform for delivery of services 24x7 to its extended community and partners across the globe.
Following a rigorous procurement process in 2000, the school engaged SUN Microsystems in a partner relationship to develop the enterprise infrastructure. The final stage of this project - the development of the London Business School Portal - is scheduled for completion in the summer of 2003.
In particular, investment has been made in following areas: Secure and resilient network infrastructure; Enterprise class mail and calendar services; Research services; Administrative databases; File and print services; Infrastructure management, including 24x7 monitoring and support of services.
The investment in technology has been backed up by a programme of staff development under the heading of "eXcite", focusing on Excellence and Customer Service. This programme recognises the importance of people in delivery of services and the need for staff to be focused and responsive to constant change in order to ensure technology continues to match the business requirements of the organisation.
