South Island Distance Education (SIDES) Technology Review
South Island Distance Education School (SIDES) is viewed as a leader in Distributed Learning and in the use of technology to provide flexibility and options for students both locally and abroad. SIDES required a review of its own internal technology architecture to ensure that it can meet the business demands in terms of security, volume and system availability for its students, staff and management. Bert van der Geest led the project and together with Grant Brager of Strategic Functions Ltd., conducted a technology architecture review. The review provided recommendations for improvement for the technology infrastructure, security, applications, work processes and support staffing to align with the organization’s business plans.
