Time Vs Resources
Overview
Singapore’s NTU is an internationally renowned research-intensive tertiary institution, with its broad-based education offerings covering science and technology, business and the arts, as well as entrepreneurial and leadership skills to prepare students for a global world.
The rapid increase in student intake at NTU over recent years has resulted in a significant increase in the number of IT devices and electronic services to cater to the needs of students, academics and administrative staff.
Monitoring the multiple devices on a staggering scale like NTU is a daunting task, yet essential to ensure the campus IT infrastructure runs smoothly; but it is also time-consuming, which leaves the IT team with precious little time for more strategic IT initiatives.
