Results Into Results Ltd (RIR) is a subsidiary company of the University of Edinburgh.  The supporting IT systems for RIR have been in place for 5 years and so a review has now been commissioned by the Corporate Services's Project Programme & Planning Manager  to validate that they are still fit for purpose and can continue to effectively support RIR Ltd in their research activities into the future.

This project will undertake a review of the IT systems, underlying databases, infrastructure and support arrangements.  Findings will be documented into a Technical Architecture Document (TAD) which will be accompanied by a summary paper on any potential improvements that may be recommended.

The benefits of undertaking this review include: -

• Increased shared knowledge of the IT provision at RIR Ltd, thereby reducing the risk of reliance on key individuals
• Improved technical documentation of the IT provision at RIR Ltd, allowing support staff to give an improved service in the event of issues
• Increased confidence that the IT provision can continue to effectively support RIR Ltd in their research activities
