Financial Statements 2017/18
Information technology
Through MDXapp, our students can stay up-to-date with the latest campus news including any changes to the services they use every day. Since its launch in the 2017/18 academic year, MDXapp has already seen over 19,000 downloads. With so many students using the app daily, we further developed it to provide transport information and guidance to first year students and are looking to include information for easy access to the library, feedback from modules and exam schedules.
We believe collaboration is a key ingredient to our creativity and to drive collaborative working practices we have rolled out Skype for Business and Dropbox so members of staff can work together more efficiently. To further enhance our productivity, we are also exploring new ways of collaboration using Microsoft Teams.
As part of our ongoing commitment to ensure our systems remain compliant with external requirements and supplier software releases, we upgraded our Payment Systems to meet PCI compliance, migrated all our staff computers to Windows 10 and started to upgrade our Student System to retain supplier support.
To improve our cyber security, we introduced new systems to detect and protect against phishing attacks, systems vulnerabilities and anonymous behaviour across our network. Strengthening our cyber security continues to be a priority given the rapid growth in the number and sophistication of threats.

Our new Library System which is due to launch later in 2018 has more attractive modern user interfaces that are better suited to the needs of students with disabilities and is more effective in searching for online resources (e.g. journals at the article level). It also seamlessly integrates the library catalogue with MDXapp so students are able to automatically renew their loaned books (unless reserved by another student).
Over the coming year, we will commission a supplier to review the design of our data and phone network as well as implement a new system to improve student module feedback and our operational reporting.
