Our vision is that ICT should permeate everything we seek to do at UNU as an essential and invisible tool that is always available and seamlessly integrated into our activities - to address global pressing problems. At C3 we strive for service excellence by aligning ICT with business strategy and pursuing user-led innovation initiatives that combine efforts, eliminate duplication and encourage sharing of expertise.
Focusing on user needs rather than on the system; always seeking to engage users as active collaborators in various stages of the innovation cycle.
ICT should be easy to use and require zero to minimum training.
Embracing an integrated, shared services approach, providing end users with seamless provision of ICT services across the University.
To adopt principles of environmental sustainability throughout all our ICT activities.
To reduce complexity and duplication throughout all our activities by recommending the improvement and standardization of business processes, rationalizing ICT architectures and minimizing customization.
Consider the total cost of ownership when making strategic decisions and to fully investigate open source alternatives wherever possible.
Develop and promote a consistent user-centric computing environment across the University
Strengthen the overall ICT capacity by aggregating the individual ICT units to provide 24/7 support coverage worldwide
Adapt and transform new concepts and technologies to meet changing requirements; generate and incubate our own breakthrough ideas that will lead to new services
Raise awareness of ICT and their benefits; ensure that the users can take full advantage of the most adequate and effective ICT tools needed for their work
Promote collaborative excellence by working with other departments throughout the University to identify improvement opportunities as well as develop new solutions
Using ICT to facilitate collaboration, knowledge generation, value creation as well as diffusion of new knowledge and innovation.
An important pillar to C3's innovation engine is open source software, which is growing in leaps and bounds in every imaginable category of our technology stack. C3 is constantly on the lookout for suitable open source solutions that add value to UNU
A borderless office where all the data and applications are available anytime, anywhere and the user experience remains consistent regardless of location and device. Harmonization of business processes and technical systems is an important step toward a consistent computing platform and interface across UNU.
Maximizing machine-to-machine connectivity; using data mining and visualization techniques to eliminate data siloes and unlock the value of data that matters to research and day-to-day operations
Agile and rapid deployment of global ICT infrastructure and services using a hybrid cloud architecture and self-service cloud provisioning. We have begun to leverage cloud computing to develop a big data infrastructure for mining business intelligence from application and security data pulled from multiple sources.
We are a close-knit team committed to excellence in service, continually advancing our portfolio of ICT services in anticipation of the changing needs of faculty, staff and students. Join us !
