Data#3 An Innovative approach to sourcing and retaining skills, knowledge, and expertise. Sourcing and retaining skillsets in niche, high demand technology domains remain a significant challenge across the higher education sector. In this session, you will hear how Australian universities have leveraged a new sourcing approach utilising local and global talent pools across multiple domains including security, enterprise applications and infrastructure. This approach has provided timely and ongoing access to the right skillsets while significantly reducing the cost of project delivery. Alex Mardon + Stuart Murdoch, Data#3 | Pure Storage Delivering Cloud Economics and Cloud Experience on Prem Is your organisation looking for creative options to streamline costs while continuing to preserve and enhance the student experience and propel research forward?
