In support of the Australian government's Digital Education Revolution (DER) initiative, the itSMF Australia chapter has introduced a new membership category for schools to improve the delivery of IT services to students.
Schools will be provided with access to knowledge and increased awareness as to how process driven IT service management can deliver cost and efficiency benefits through international standards such as ISO20000 and proven best practice Service Delivery frameworks such as ITIL.
The scheme will target school IT departments with secondary enrolments that are looking for processes to manage a large number of computers being run under the DER program.
The DER was announced in 2007, with the aim of achieving a student to computer ratio of one to one for all students in year 9 through to 12 by the end of 2011.
