The JISC Advisory Services are unique and have no direct commercial equivalents. Working closely with the JISC Regional Support Centres, they provide the UK further and higher education (FE and HE) sectors with the expertise, independent advice, guidance and resources required to enable effective and innovative uses of ICT. JISC Advisory Services provide focused advice and support to the community on a wide range of issues which institutions face on a daily basis. Staffed by experts in their fields, the services are dedicated to the dissemination of good practice, and can also provide help and support which is tailored to institutions' specific ICT requirement.
