| 11.00 | Coffee and Networking |
| 11.30 | Printing your own money?! The cost of printing for an organisation the size of a university is considerable. Traditionally members of staff treat printers as an extension of their PC and regard it as essentially a personal activity. The initial low cost of desktop printers hides the real cost from them. Central control of printing can save a considerable sum of money and can significantly reduce the institutions carbon footprint. Stuart Wright & Martin Connell show how an institutional print strategy has been implemented at Liverpool John Moores University for both staff and students. Presentation (2.5Mb) |
| 12.30 | Lunch |
| 13.30 | Several institutions have outsourced their email, personal storage and some productivity applications to the "free" services offered by Google and Microsoft. But can institutions really save money? The University of Westminster outsourced their email, personal storage and productivity applications to Google Apps. In so doing, they've saved over £1m. Roger James, takes us through their journey, showing where the savings were made and the challenges and lessons learned before, during and after their migration. Presentation (1.5Mb) |
| 14.30 | Dr Hugh Beedie takes us through the Holistic, Energy Efficient Data Centre design implemented at Cardiff. Presentation (8.5Mb) |

| Cancelled | Unfortunately, Mr McCluggage didn't arrive, so the following presentation didn't occur.
