ABOUT CAUDITCAUDIT’s purpose is to support each other in leading application of digital capabilities to transform education and research. CAUDIT realises this purpose through three strategies:

CONNECT, ENABLE and CHALLENGE

Through actively connecting CAUDIT’s Members, CAUDIT broadens their impact within the higher education and research sector, both locally and internationally. CAUDIT’s emphasis on reciprocal exchange between Members stimulates the productive reach of ICT. CAUDIT maintains a network linking CAUDIT Members, international colleagues, service providers, and vendors.

Membership of the Council of Australasian University Directors of Information Technology (CAUDIT) is drawn from universities in Australia and New Zealand, and the nearby Asia Pacific region, along with major Australian research and teaching organisations.

Each Member is represented by the most senior person with strategic and operational responsibility for ICT – with the roles being variously titled Chief Information Officer, Chief Digital Officer, or Director, ICT.

CAUDIT is an incorporated Not-For-Profit Association, governed through an Executive Committee of elected Member Representatives.

It is interesting to be writing amid the COVID-19 crisis about 2019, which was such a positive year for CAUDIT. Looking back over the year has brought a feeling of lightness in an otherwise bleak time. I hope you enjoy this backward glance with me.

CAUDIT’s membership is its strength. The willingness of Member Representatives, and their teams, to collaborate, engage and help each other is inspiring. The time given to the initiatives and activities within CAUDIT is extraordinary. Thank you to every Member Representative and their teams for making CAUDIT what it is today – a collection of amazing individuals who create a space to provide thought leadership and sharing to enable innovation across our sector. Thought leaders are informed opinion leaders and the go-to people in their field of expertise. They are trusted sources who move and inspire people with innovative ideas; turn ideas into reality, and know and show how to replicate their success. The CAUDIT Members and the CAUDIT organisation show this thought leadership every day.

Thought leadership was showcased by the CAUDIT events in 2019. The first was our biennial conference - THETA: The Tipping Point. On behalf of all attendees, thank you, Fiona Rankin (our host and CIO, University Wollongong), and all involved with the setup and delivery of an excellent event,

including speakers, attendees, sponsors and exhibitors. The Member Meetings and the inaugural CAUDIT Awards provided a unique opportunity for sharing amongst our membership. All events organised by CAUDIT were thought-

provoking and entertaining. It is a valuable exercise to talk to our colleagues across the sector to discuss common issues and find sector-wide solutions.

2019 saw the mobilisation of two strategic initiatives. The Cybersecurity initiative has developed into AHECS, the Australasian Higher Education Cybersecurity Service, which is a showcase of collaboration in the sector for a need recognised at the highest levels within Australia. The partnership that is AHECS between AARNet, AusCERT, AAF, REANNZ and led by CAUDIT is proving to be an excellent vehicle to help the entire sector with Cybersecurity. Along with Cyber, the membership voted on expanding Professional Development as a sector initiative. This initiative is still in its infancy but is developing well, and I look forward to the engagement through the short courses.

The services we, as members, have grown used to and rely on are still being provided at the highest standard. Procurement, Benchmarking, the CAUDIT Leadership Institute and Managers Program are thriving. IT suppliers are beginning to understand engaging with the entire sector via CAUDIT is a unique and valuable way to connect with us all. The CLI continues to provide the sector with influential thought leaders. Each year the Benchmarking team finds new and improved ways of

seeing the data in different ways to help each of us develop the information for our respective hierarchies.

Over the past year, CAUDIT has received membership applications from organisations which don’t fit in our current membership categories. At the end of 2019, the CAUDIT Executive started a membership category review. It will be completed in 2020 time permitting.

After working in the corporate sector, the Communities of Practice managed by CAUDIT, are a breath of fresh air. The fiercely competitive nature in the corporate arena inhibits true collaboration and development. Sharing at the grassroots level, where colleagues from all member institutions can share and develop solutions together, is the absolute best of CAUDIT. Member institutions appear to agree with the increase in membership of the CoPs up 41% on the previous year.

Finally, I would like to thank the CAUDIT team led by Anne Kealley who are a small but incredibly resourceful team who “punch above their weight” when it comes to delivering incredible services to our membership. Also, with me on the CAUDIT Executive: Kerrie Campbell, Kerry Holling, Scott Sorley, Niranjan Prabhu, Warwick Calkin and Eion Hall. Each of these Executive members gives up their time during their busy lives to lead CAUDIT in supporting each member, so all of us get a substantial benefit from our membership. Being President of this organisation is a highlight of my time in the Higher Education Sector.

2019 flew by with the usual stimulating Members Meetings in Autumn and Spring. At the Annual General Meeting, Members elected Gina White (Director, Technology Services, Southern Cross University) as President, Kerrie Campbell (Chief Information Officer, Flinders University) as Vice President, and Warwick Calkin (Chief Information Officer, The University of Western Australia) to the Executive Committee. Members thanked Bruce Callow (retiring President) for his considerable contributions to the Executive and CAUDIT.

May 2019 saw the inaugural CAUDIT Awards presentations. Recognising and celebrating exceptional achievements of people working in IT within higher education and research, awards were presented in five categories – Emerging Leader, Operational Excellence, Excellence in Research Support, Improving Student Success, and Innovation in Teaching and Learning. Judges commented on the innovative and high-quality work, and how tough it was to select between multiple worthy entrants. Well done to all entrants!

Other successes for 2019 included the creation of two new Communities of Practice (IDAM and DevOps), increasing the number to 11. Total CoP membership increased to almost 1,500, (up by 41% over 2018) with Cassandra Spencer’s enthusiastic support. A number of the CoPs held conferences. The University of Wollongong hosted THETA 2019, the biennial

conference CAUDIT runs in partnership with CAUL and ACODE. Terrific work was done by Fiona Rankin, her team and her CAUL and ACODE colleagues at the University of Wollongong, along with Kerry Holling from Western Sydney University, the Conference Project Officer, the conference company and CAUDIT staff.

Our annual Leadership Institute and Managers Program again received rave reviews from participants: 1062 individuals have completed these programs since their inception. Unfortunately, in 2019 gender balance of participants decreased to 33% female in both programs.

The quality of annual benchmarking data submitted by members continued to improve and a variety of results were made available via a focused hard copy report and online interactive charts. Members also undertook surveys via CAUDIT services, furnishing much useful information to members.

A Strategic Initiative Development Manager (Greg Sawyer) was seconded from The University of Sydney to progress the two strategic initiatives prioritised by members – cybersecurity and expanding our professional development offerings. With collaboration fundamental to everything we do, CAUDIT brought together AusCERT, AARNet and REANNZ to form the Australasian Higher Education Cybersecurity Services (AHECS) initiative led by CAUDIT.

International engagement continued, primarily with colleagues in the USA (EDUCAUSE), South Africa (ASAUDIT), Canada (CUCCIO, BCNET, and Cybera), and the UK (UCISA).

I would like to thank Member Representatives and their teams for their support, and engagement with their CAUDIT colleagues during the year. I’m sure everyone appreciates the efforts of Executive Committee members, Benchmarking Advisory Committee, Strategic Procurement Committee, THETA Conference Committees, Top Ten Working Group, AHECS Working Group, Professional Development Working Group, Microsoft Working Group, Chairs of Communities of Practice and their members, CLI Faculty members, 2020 Cybersecurity Strategy Working Group, and Membership Category Review Working Group (a work in progress). Suffice to say, during 2019 many Member Representatives and their staff contributed for the collective benefit of all members.

I would also like to thank the CAUDIT staff who have worked hard throughout the year – as they always do – and supported members to the best of their abilities at all times.

MEMBERS MEETINGSCAUDIT’s Autumn Members Meeting (AMM) and Spring Members Meeting (SMM) are forums that collegially review CAUDIT’s agenda, determine arenas in which CAUDIT must take the lead, and share progress. Of equal importance, Members Meetings sustain professional networks across higher education and research institutions, and furnish challenging ideas for enhancing the sector’s digital capability.

Autumn Members Meeting22 and 23 May, 2019 Novotel, WollongongHeld immediately following the THETA 2019 conference, the AMM drew on THETA’s Tipping Point theme: the point where IT innovations cross a threshold to spread widely and quickly. Insights about what comes next are crucial for CAUDIT Members – higher education and research institutions are early adopters of new technology.

The AMM provided opportunities for conversations that gauged the impact of new technology uptake on institutional strategy, budgets, planning, services design, security, and more. International and Federal Government presenters surveyed challenges on many topics, including cybersecurity and research support. The meeting also saw the launch of version 2.0 of the CAUDIT Higher Education Enterprise Architecture Business Reference Model.

AMM participants received updates on CAUDIT’s professional development and cybersecurity initiatives, as prioritised by CAUDIT Members, and attended the inaugural CAUDIT Awards presentation.

Spring Members Meeting1 and 2 October, 2019 University of Technology, SydneyCybersecurity was explored at depth and from many perspectives during the SMM, which included an update on the CAUDIT-led initiative to establish the Australasian Higher Education Cybersecurity Service and a presentation by a representative of the Government’s Canberra Joint Cyber Security Centre (JCSC). An overview of outcomes from CAUDIT’s 2019 Benchmarking round provided challenging inputs to collegial networking among participants.

The SMM considered CAUDIT’s procurement priorities, and also benefited from case studies about projects in higher education and research institutions that offered discerning learnings in areas ranging from data management and governance to data warehousing. The second day finished with presentations from a number of start-ups via an Early Birds Marketplace session.

THETA 2019 – THE TIPPING POINT 19-22 May 2019

THETA – The Higher Education Technology Agenda – is Australasia’s spotlight biennial conference for those working with and in ICT, library, and teaching and learning in higher education and research. CAUDIT, CAUL, and ACODE collaborate to conduct THETA as a true conference ‘by the sector, for the sector’.

THETA 2019’s theme, The Tipping Point, recognised that understandings of disruption, technology and its application has moved quickly through development and testing to a tipping point: widespread adoption in society, and notably quick adoption in higher education and research.

THETA 2019 proved thought-provoking for 711 delegates who engaged over four days in seven keynote/invited speakers, 129 paper presentations, and four experiential campus tours.

CAUDIT thanks Chair Fiona Rankin and the team from the University of Wollongong for hosting THETA 2019, and all who contributed to its planning and conduct including the 53 valued sponsors and exhibitors.

We look forward to welcoming delegates to THETA 2022 in Perth.

CAUDIT’s study tours enable staff from CAUDIT member institutions to establish professionally and institutionally valuable performance yardsticks and networks, to exchange ideas and options for developing and applying IT capability, and to engage with IT vendors about responses to emerging needs.

CAUDIT’s USA Study Tour 2019 ran from 17-25 October, following EDUCAUSE 2019 – the USA’s

spotlight conference for IT in higher education. Seventeen delegates participated in the Tour, hailing from 13 Australian and one New Zealand university. Stops in Chicago, San Francisco and Seattle involved pre-arranged, structured visits to six universities (Northwestern, Illinois, Loyola, UC Berkeley, Stanford Washington) and four vendors (Salesforce, ServiceNow, AWS, Microsoft).

At the conclusion of the USA Study Tour the CAUDIT Director Strategic Procurement, Steve Johnston, continued to British Columbia to meet with universities and peak bodies to share procurement approaches and practices.

The inaugural International Higher Education IT Procurement Summit was hosted by BCNET in Vancouver Canada on 31 October and 1 November 2019 with representatives from across Canada (BCNET, Cybera, ECN, Info-Tech) and one Australian.

Each representative brought a unique perspective and had a slightly different approach to providing value to their stakeholders. The challenges are similar with the same vendors providing the same opportunities and challenges across the world.

The key learning from the summit was the focus on procurement value metrics being developed in Canada.

CAUDIT Members rely on their ITC professional colleagues to partner with them in order to ensure institutional digital capability matches end-user expectations. Their exemplary technical skills must be accompanied by leadership, collaboration and a host of other ‘soft’ skills.

CAUDIT Members consistently reinforce a collective priority for transformation through extending technical, management, and leadership skills among their ITC staff. CAUDIT responds with an enabling suite of dynamic professional learning opportunities specifically designed for people who work with technology in higher education and research. CAUDIT also pursues strategic initiatives that enable CAUDIT Members to hold a digital capability lead.

CAUDIT Members enable their ITC staff to manage today’s service environment, and to prepare for tomorrow’s strategic complexities, through emphasising collaboration and problem solving, and advancing best practice:

The CAUDIT Leadership Institute (CLI) invites emerging ITC leaders to embark on a journey that reveals transformative leadership in practice. With its dedicated concentration on leading ITC in higher education and research institutions, directly drawing on CLI Faculty members’ extensive expertise, CLI offers practically grounded leadership development straddling the day-to-day and the strategic long-term.

The best advertisement for its effectiveness is a roster of more than 900 alumni since the CLI’s launch

in 1998. CLI 2019 added 42 graduates from 27 organisations.

CAUDIT is grateful to the CLI Faculty for their thoughtful and enthusiastic program planning and delivery. We thank in particular departing Faculty members – Michael Kirby-Lewis, Mark Gregory and Mike Day who joined in 2013, 2015 and 2018 respectively. We also welcomed Michael Cato, Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer at Bowdoin College to the Faculty.

Over eight months, 32 CLI 2019 participants engaged in a professional formation challenge that sets high expectations and produces high value learning outcomes. Usually capped at 20 participants, CMP 2019 was heavily over-subscribed; consequently, two concurrent cohorts were enrolled with great success.

CMP’s format and content are updated annually, based on feedback from participants and their supervisors. Content is also informed by reflecting on performance expectations of ITC managers in the constantly evolving IT landscape of higher education and research institutions.

CAUDIT has a long tradition of assisting its members—and the sector as whole—to establish strong partnerships with the vendor community. Using the purchasing power of the sector to drive down costs is a clear objective, but so too is deriving value in other ways.

Members are represented by the CAUDIT Strategic Procurement Committee—providing governance, guidance and ensuring transparency, probity, and timely and accurate communication with CAUDIT members.

Procurement specialists engage via the University Software Licencing Community of Practice (USLC) one of the longest-standing CAUDIT communities of Practice.

Webinars are used to provide technical updates to members; sponsorship brings revenue to enable conferences, meetings and collaboration; open communication is maintained to assist members and vendors to understand each other and the priorities of the sector.

Vendor sponsorship is important to enable many of CAUDIT’s activities—we acknowledge and thank the vendors that contributed during 2019.

2019 saw the finalisation of the Microsoft Agreement, a negotiation of 20 months duration, with the final group of universities completing their enrolment during January and February and the development of a more strategic relationship that we hope to build upon in coming years.

Other major activities included the negotiation of a new VMware agreement and attendance at the inaugural international IT Procurement Summit, held in Vancouver.

CAUDIT will build a stronger relationship with the Australian University Procurement Hub (UPH) as the Strategic Procurement Committee replaces the UPH IT Executive Group in providing guidance to the priorities of UPH and their sourcing activities.

During 2020, the membership will reset their procurement priorities, providing guidance to the Director Strategic Procurement, the Strategic Procurement Committee, and other groups and working parties for the next few years, and to improve the process of measuring the value of Strategic Procurement to the sector.

CAUDIT 2019 STRATEGIC INITIATIVESCAUDIT Members prioritised the three initiatives described here. First conceived at the 2018 Autumn Members Meeting, AHECS and CSDA were endorsed for action in 2019. The CAUDIT/Microsoft Data Lake was proposed, endorsed, and completed during 2019. Reserve Funds were used to second a Strategic Initiative Development Manager from the University of Sydney for nine months to progress these initiatives.

AHECS – Australasian Higher Education Cybersecurity Service AHECS is an outcome of heightened awareness about cybersecurity challenges before higher education and research institutions. Cybersecurity’s increasing prominence is demonstrated by CAUDIT’s Cybersecurity Community of Practice (CoP) membership growth, almost tripling to 234 from January 2017 to December 2019.

Early in 2019, CAUDIT convened meetings with AAF, AARNet, AusCERT, and REANNZ with the result that all parties agreed to collaborate to provide a coordinated suite of services aimed at helping improve the cybersecurity maturity of the sector. Consultations with the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation and the Australian Attorney-General’s Department informed this work. The partners submitted a funding proposal for AHECS to AustCyber’s Project Fund. A detailed business plan followed the proposal’s acceptance through to the final round, and a project plan was handed to AustCyber late in 2019. While complimented, this was ultimately unsuccessful in winning funding.

CAUDIT’s leadership in formulating AHECS has relied on high quality advice from staff of CAUDIT Members collaborating in working groups, and from an emerging network within the Cybersecurity CoP.

CAUDIT Staff Development Academy (CSDA)To maintain reputation, strategic momentum, and business continuity, higher education and research institutions must maximise interconnections between ITC, education, and research. That outcome relies on their ITC workforces being skilled, innovative, engaging and goal oriented. This imperative to nurture a future-ready ITC workforce, one adept with both soft and hard skills, prompted business case development for the CSDA.

It was a prompt CAUDIT could readily respond to given the networked expertise among CAUDIT Members that has seeded continuing success of CAUDIT’s Leadership Institute, and its Managers Program. Following endorsement of its business case in 2019, the CSDA will commence in earnest in 2020. CSDA’s brief includes delivering structured training that returns high value to individuals in member institutions; sector-wide coordination of professional development; and development of micro-credentials as awards from CSDA programs.

CAUDIT/Microsoft Data Lake The CAUDIT/Microsoft Data Lake project was initiated in 2019. The data lake enabled participating institutions to securely store anonymised institutional data as a shared resource. The project successfully demonstrated a data lake can assist in improving outcomes across activities as diverse as designing early interventions for at risk students or improving research project cost management.

The University of Canberra, The University of Western Australia and the Australian Catholic University participated in a proof of concept trial. In October 2019, they generously shared trial outcomes at CAUDIT’s Spring Members Meeting. The data lake initiative demonstrates that big data can quickly produce big returns.

OTHER INITIATIVES

CAUDIT Student Data Special Interest Group (SIG) CAUDIT formed the Special Interest Group (SIG) on Student Data in June 2019. The SIG provides a facility for practitioners involved with student data reporting, management and systems across the higher education sector in response to the Transforming the Collection of Student Information (TCSI).

The TCSI project jointly administered by the Australian Department of Education & Training and the Department of Human Services (DHS) aims to provide solutions that replace the Higher Education Provider Client Assistance Tool (HEPCAT) for all education providers and the Centrelink Academic Reassessment Transformation (CART) for universities. With the impact of COVID-19 the TCSI project has extended production release into 2020.

The CAUDIT Student Data SIG met monthly with regular presentations from the TCSI Project, discussions and information sharing on the challenges and achievements within the sector and is coordinated by the Strategic Initiative Development Manager.

COMMUNITIES OF PRACTICE At the end of 2018, 1058 staff from CAUDIT member institutions belonged to a CAUDIT-supported Community of Practice (CoP)CAUDIT-supported. At December 2019, just 12 months later, that number had grown by 41% to 1497.

The enduring interest in, and continuing growth of, CoP participation attests to several high value impacts.

There is the power of professional learning gained by working with peers on live challenges.

By assembling expertise from across higher education and research institutions, CoPs maximise problem-solving capacity to the advantage of the sector and individual CAUDIT member organisations.

CoPs enable participants to contextualise institutional IT challenges and practices within a sectoral perspective, to benchmark performance through discussion and observation and to save time and money.

During 2019, Cassandra Spencer, CAUDIT’s Manager Engagement and Administration, enthusiastically supported 11 CoPs, including facilitating two new CoPs (IM&A, and DevOps) to make a start:

Higher education and research institutions constantly push ICT boundaries, seeking enhanced teaching, learning, research, administration and engagement. This search for improvement poses ongoing challenges to an institution’s digital capability, particularly if ICT is seen as a cost centre rather than an essential investment.

CAUDIT supports Members to meet challenges. Each year CAUDIT Members acquire two renewed strategic assets:

CAUDIT’s Top Ten Topics

Data and analysis from CAUDIT’s Benchmarking System

These assets provide each Member with insights about current priorities within their institution and sector-wide. They help formulate foresight and options to inform discussion and decision making about evolution of an institution’s digital capability.

Benchmarking and the Top Ten proceed with direct input from staff of CAUDIT Member institutions. CAUDIT maintains the structured means for their collaboration, but it is they who review survey instruments. They shape data analysis and reporting. They define the challenges, and support each other to appraise feasible responses.

CAUDIT BENCHMARKING 2019As part of sharing of ideas, experiences, and best practice among Members, in 2003 CAUDIT established a benchmarking program. Through the CAUDIT Benchmarking System, each CAUDIT Member institution can benchmark IT performance with other Members.

CAUDIT Member institutions have both common and individually distinctive strategic and operating contexts. Recognising this, in addition to electronically circulating to Members CAUDIT’s Annual Benchmarking Report, in November 2019 CAUDIT introduced the Benchmarking Online Data Access Service. It allows Members to customise benchmarking data analysis and reporting. Like all aspects of CAUDIT’s Benchmarking System, the new Service’s strict security controls reinforce confidentiality and limit access.

The benchmarking program is continually refined and improved with guidance from CAUDIT’s Benchmarking Advisory Committee (BMAC). All data submitted by members goes through a quality control review. In 2019, 39 Australian and eight New Zealand university members contributed data, as did the CSIRO.

IT investment per student Given ICT’s significance for teaching and learning, and for meeting student needs and changing expectations, amongst the many ratios examined is IT investment per student. This significance is reflected in increasing IT investment per student [EFTSL] over time. In 2018, universities increased IT investment per EFTSL by 5.3% to $2,333.

CAUDIT’s 2019 Top Ten Topics report was launched at the Autumn Members Meeting in May. The 2019 edition was the 14th in the annual series.

The continuing purpose of CAUDIT’s Top Ten report is to assist ICT leaders to contextualise institutional goals, expectations, and needs within a sectoral perspective. The report offers a grounded outlook for those working with people and technology and suggests domains of activity that merit collegial engagement across the sector.

Collectively, ICT leaders and their teams contribute expertise that is instrumental to the future and day-to-day operations of higher education and research institutions. Digitisation has ushered transformational change into the sector, and ICT innovation continues to reveal new imperatives and new opportunities.

The Top Ten report is also intended to inform conversations between diverse institutional

stakeholders about their present and potential interactions with information and communications technology. Those working in ICT play a critical role in initiating and deepening these conversations. Dialogue with decision makers, students, teachers, researchers, and professional staff lays the groundwork for the strategic development and application of ICT.

CAUDIT conducts a member survey to determine the Top Ten Topic rankings. The survey is adapted each year to reflect emerging and current technology-related business priorities in strategic contexts characterised by institutional change, funding pressures, and policy uncertainties.

A Top Ten Working Party is convened each year. Its members have essential input into survey changes, and survey data analysis. CAUDIT thanks 2019 Working Party members for their contributions.
