About the Event
CISG-PCMG23 - Out with the old and in with the new
Following on from a successful return to the annual Corporate Information Systems and Project and Change Management Groups face to face conference, we look forward to welcoming you to Birmingham for CISG-PCMG23.
Universities and Colleges continue to be inundated with changes and ‘advances’ in technology and business processes, but how are we as individual institutions dealing with these changes? The conference this year will explore this theme, through the experience of industry professionals and colleagues from across the sector. Change is good and necessary, but we must not ‘throw the baby out with the bathwater’.
In adopting change, we need to remember what has worked well in the past and carry that best practice forward, but also, we must adapt to take advantage of emerging technology and infrastructure if we are to meet user expectations, improve productivity, resilience, and security, and grow our overall capability.
Cultural change in relation to integrating new software and business process can be disruptive and not only to our stakeholders, but also to our IT staff who build, maintain, and evolve our technology landscape. Staff capability is important; as we adopt new technologies and associated support models, we have a duty to ensure that our staff have the capabilities that they require to carry out these new roles.
Institutions traditionally have a gradual process of moving from legacy systems to new systems and software. However, areas such as cloud, AI, machine learning, systems, and process integration (to name but a few) are advancing faster than our ability to adopt them effectively.
Some institutions are re-evaluating core systems, looking at the role of ERP and CRM and the impact that may have on productivity and budgets. Cybersecurity is a key concern across the sector, with system and data security a key priority.
The conference this year will have a mix of traditional presentations, university showcases and updates from the sector. There will also be opportunities for networking with your peers across the UCISA community, as well as the chance to engage with our suppliers as they support us on our journey of ‘Out with the old and in with the new’.
