Current Challenges

  research database/website, separate reporting
  tools, research repository.
• Information Strategy to address issues but
  research support infrastructure has very low
  priority (over enrolment improvement etc).
• Poor Information management practices across
  CPIT.
• Diverse range of research outputs only some
