SMART CAMPUS INITIATIVE
Cave Hill’s Smart Campus Initiative fully supports The UWI’s digital transformation and reflects significant gains in the last year. The Campus needed to upgrade its ageing IT infrastructure, and within the conditions of the debt restructuring and the government resuming responsibility for two loans, the Campus was able to upgrade to Banner 9 in the Cloud and live. This critical transition was made in time for the start of the academic year, with seamless and incident-free registration in August 2019. The Campus expects the ongoing transformation of online services, especially improvements in student and client experiences. The move to the Cloud means risks of hardware failure or damage from natural disasters, such as hurricanes, are eliminated. It also makes Cave Hill the only campus to have its major service platforms, Banner 9 – student and finance administration system and Microsoft Office 365 – suite of applications for business productivity both live and in the Cloud. It is a sure signal that Cave Hill is fully on the way to becoming a smart campus in the 21st century.
