A new report about the value of Jisc concludes that the UK’s digital and data body for research and tertiary education helps save the sector up to £300m per year and contributes immensely to the UK economy.
Written by Frontier Economics, the report covers some of Jisc’s key technologies, in particular its core role operating the super-fast and secure national research and education network (NREN), Janet. Jisc’s cyber security, trust and identify, cloud and content licensing services are also within scope of the Jisc-commissioned report.
The research finds that, for every £1 they invest in Jisc, members receive a return of more than £3 just in terms of savings.
The report also says that Jisc generates high value for money for the taxpayer, with the wider gross economic benefits associated with its services worth more than £1.5bn per year.
