I'm delighted to confirm that the University of St Andrews is a finalist in the UK IT Industry Awards Project Excellence category. The project nominated is our Butts Wynd Data Centre which we completed in 2011.
This is well deserved recognition of the excellent work
undertaken by my IT Services team, in conjunction with our colleagues in Estates, to
deliver a high quality and highly efficient data centre.
I've always considered this facility to be one of the building blocks in creating a world class Platform which underpins every aspect of the University's operations.
This is a significant
achievement, as being UK wide, the competition is always considerable.The BCS and Computing UK IT Industry Awards are a platform for the entire profession to celebrate best practice, innovation and excellence.
David Clarke MBE, Chief Executive Officer, BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT says: "Congratulations to the finalists; they can be proud of their achievements in reaching this stage of our prestigious Awards. Through the Awards we aim to demonstrate not only the innovation and professionalism of those working in IT but also the importance of IT in delivering business and social benefit."
The winners will be announced on 14 November 2012. I'll keep you posted!
