It is often difficult to get across the range of work we, in Web Services, are involved in. Obviously working on the new external website is a priority for us at the moment but what else do we do?
I’ve recently had to try and pull together some information to detail our work in other areas so I thought it would be worth sharing via this blog.
The following table shows our responsibilities on top of the development and management of the University website(s). Alongside these we also provide training and support for the vast numbers of web maintainers across the University. On average we deliver one training session per week and deal with approx fifteen support requests per day.
Please note this list is not exhaustive.
