Savings, efficiencies and value

Our services

This total is reached through calculating the direct cost savings and staff efficiencies (time savings) that our members achieve through their actual use of Jisc services. 

This value figure demonstrates the difference between the real commercial price of services we provide to our members that, based on their feedback, they would be unlikely to purchase out of their current budgets.

We only calculate savings, efficiencies and value for a service when is can be reliably evidenced and backed-up.

Your savings calculator

We are currently developing a calculator that will demonstrate your savings, efficiencies and value in an interactive format. Accessed via My Jisc, the calculator will feature sector-wide averages that can then be manipulated to produce a tailored report for each individual institution. 

VAT-exempt cost sharing

Our VAT-exempt cost sharing group is now well-established, and institutions are benefiting from paying no VAT on some optional services.

Reducing our own costs

We've been making our own efficiency gains in recent years. We have achieved net annual savings of £8.9m in real terms over the past two years by operating more efficiently with further savings in the pipeline.
