Yes!  NUS students will be amongst the first in South East Asia to be given access to Microsoft’s latest technology tools at no charge.

At a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signing on 10 April 2008 with DP Admin representing NUS, Microsoft renewed its commitment to the education sector through the launch of a new global program, Dreamspark, in Singapore.  The Dreamspark program will potentially reach up to 120,000 tertiary students in Singapore this year.  Each of these students will have access to software that is close to US$6,000 in value.

Mail me at IT@NUS if you have any other comments.

Calendar of Event (CoE) not only minimizes your event record administration, simplify event registration, generate participant list, allows you to view your own record, but is also an instant outreach to a wider audience.

The NUS CoE is a central repository that allows staff, students and the public a 1-stop instant access to what's happening in NUS throughout the year.

So what benefit can we get from implementing that project?

One methodology we recently engaged was the Business Value Analysis (BVA).  BVA enables business to manage IT risk, maximize IT performance and quantify the gain that the project realizes.  In collaboration with Symantec, Computer Centre has completed a BVA study on the business value of NUS LargeMail which was introduced in 2006.
