System Integration Through Rapid Innovation

Institutions who see value in maintaining technical support and development capacity to fully exploit both internal integration as well as the integration of in-house and off-campus sources of service provision may wish to consider the rapid innovation approach to integration. This methodology has been created as part of the JISC Rapid Innovation Strand programme.

Applying the definition of the rapid innovation methodology within the context of flexible service delivery, developers would be expected to experiment with the practical integration of disparate institutional administrative and related academic systems and aggregation of services. The aim would be to identify new ideas and technologies and investigate best practice that can be re-purposed and disseminated to other institutions, irrespective of the application and version.
