CIO, Newcastle University
Technology within universities have not followed the same road to digitisation, moving slowly in how it has reorganised. Whilst reliable and stable the transformation piece doesn’t mirror the fast-moving tech sector.

Mark Ferrar, CIO at Newcastle University, talks about his journey to bring their services up to date.
