David Supple
is manager of the Corporate Web team at the
University of Birmingham and manager of the
University's Institutional Portal Project. His teams remit is the development of
the site to facilitate the e-business and e-learning aims of the institution,
and the delivery of a Web-enabled organisational vision. In real terms this
means the re-corporatization of the University web site, through a focussed
Web strategy, common infrastructures and templates, centralised hardware, adequate
support and a customer focussed internal sales process to help convince users
to migrate back to the centre.
The Web Team uses mostly Microsoft products (a challenge in itself), with
occasional forays into MySQL and Unix just to keep us sane.
Over the coming year, David's focus will be on developing a major portal
environment for the University, something that has been in planning for almost
2 years now, and he is keen to engage with the HE community on this new type
of development to help maximise the potential of this technology.
David is also interested in web strategy in general and the development of
organisational structures and processes as they respond to a more electronic
view of the world.
David can be contacted at
<d.r.supple AT bham.ac.uk>*.
