BENCHEIT - Benchmarking Higher Education IT

Abstract

The BENCHEIT group is one of the official task forces of EUNIS. BENCHEIT is a project group running an annual survey of IT volumes and costs throughout European higher education institutes. BENCHEIT is the first serious European level effort to compare IT costs and volumes throughout European higher education institutes. Our principles are: Low (or no) cost, voluntary work, total openness with the data for all participants, total cooperation across institutes. Universities often compete against each other – but we do not compete in IT. This is the area to help each other!
