Let’s hope not!
As a supplier of ICT Service Management solutions to the education sector we clearly recognise the benefits of FITS (Framework for ICT Support) in helping schools and colleges manage ICT to reduce costs and improve service delivery. Importantly, the framework prepares ICT staff for the steps required to put best practise into operation and provides guidelines for implementation of service desk technology (the help desk) that streamlines ICT support and delivers management information for monitoring and improvement.
If FITS is cut adrift then not only would this be a waste of a very sound investment it would also be the worst possible timing for schools facing severe austerity measures. Pupil attainment in all areas of curriculum is dependent upon the effective delivery of ICT and the same dependency holds true for Teachers who need to research, prepare and distribute resources. It is more important than ever for schools to improve the Return on ICT Investment. FITS provides a tried and tested means of achieving this.
Our current understanding is that the FITS Foundation is seeking self-funding status. We sincerely hope they achieve this goal and continue to invest in a framework that is very FIT for purpose.
