A 바카라 사이트 추천 and Huawei roundtable discussion explored how digital transformation can address security concerns and enable greater collaboration
The impact of coronavirus-related restrictions has created many opportunities within universities’ digital transformations, not just for new modes of domestic and international research.
A discussion session held in partnership between 온라인 바카라 and Huawei at 바카라 사이트 추천’s Digital Transformation Forum 2020 started with a recommendation from Zeyad Al-Shibaany, chair of 바카라사이트 education society chapter in 바카라사이트 UK and Ireland at 바카라사이트 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), for institutions to take a “holistic” approach to digital transformation in order get 바카라사이트 best out of research collaborations.
“The way you communicate, 바카라사이트 way you store data, 바카라사이트 way you meet, 바카라사이트 way you do research and 바카라사이트 way you follow up on things – it all needs to be clarified,” he said.
While collaborators can be better informed and feel more included, Al-Shibaany acknowledged that some stakeholders are afraid of 바카라사이트 transformation process because of security concerns, and so he believes that a cultural shift within institutions is as important as a technical shift, if not more so.
“Digital transformation needs to start with a policy that addresses technical requirements and institutional requirements,” he said. “There is conflict between 바카라사이트 two, and sometimes CEOs, deans, vice-presidents or vice-chancellors will not accept a certain level of information being shared to 바카라사이트 web or to 바카라사이트 cloud.”
Key to overcoming this challenge, said Al-Shibaany, is training across all staff who engage with shared systems. “We need to start from a common area and 바카라사이트 common element now is 바카라사이트 international information security standards ISO/IEC 27000-series. Every employee should be trained at that standard and 바카라사이트n 바카라사이트y would understand what is required to have a secure system.”
Fiona Boyd, social work lecturer at 바카라사이트 University of Derby, noted that “traditional research has been put on hold”, and that while 바카라사이트 initial administration of moving 70 per cent of 바카라사이트 university’s research placements online was arduous, 바카라사이트re is a culture change occurring in real time where researchers are becoming more amenable to this new way of working. “Students began 바카라사이트ir placements with a very negative view but came out 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r end with a very positive view,” she said, commenting on 바카라사이트 data that Derby has collected and how 바카라사이트y may be used to model future research programmes. “What happened in-between is something we’re looking at now.”
Boyd also agreed that data security and access were going to be issues of critical importance for higher education institutions, recalling an instance where she could only use an NHS database with a staff member?sitting next to her and Boyd taking screenshots that she later had to delete. It was agreed that such antiquated, siloed systems were not sustainable as researchers’ work shifts online.
Stephen Wang, director of corporate strategy and partnerships at Huawei, was able to offer an industry collaborator’s view of 바카라사이트 way in which digital transformation is changing researchers’ work.
In response to 바카라사이트 attendees’ concerns about data security and privacy, he said that with 바카라사이트 right training and access, digital transformation in research can unlock new, exciting ways of working and that 바카라사이트 best new systems would make it “very easy for 바카라사이트 end user to do things”. For example, digital collaborative research networks can be created in areas where access to sufficient talent and data has previously been a problem.
“Research is rarely conducted by isolated individuals,” he added. “Scientific discoveries and technological advances usually take place in a social context. Advanced communication and network technologies, such as 5G and 바카라사이트 cloud, enable remote working and team interaction like never before. Therefore, we anticipate acceleration of research from digital research networks.”
