IS will lead a consultation study across the three Colleges on what is currently in use, the need and shape for an enhanced video service and some potential ways forward. This will include some market review activity to gather a better understanding of what other research intensive universities are doing and what vendor/open source capability is available. Delivery of a significantly expanded service is likely to need more resources than IS is currently deploying in this area, or has included in its longer term plan. The study work will aim to better identify some cost options going forward. The study would take place before the end of the current calendar year. This Project is a follow up to the ITC paper and discussion on Video Services in June 2013.

The project is will deliver a business case highlighting the options available to the UoE for establishing an enhanced media capture service.
