And the Strategic Shortcomings

The Network Technical Design Authority (TDA) is responsible for establishing and maintaining the overall technical architecture of the Core Network so that it might be developed and operated in a manner which is consistent with the strategic goals of the STFC, and remains fit for purpose in the light of the evolving demands of its user base. The TDA reports to the IT Operations Board (ITOB) and to the Information Management & Technology Strategy and Oversight Committee (IMTSOC). A Technical Design Authority for the Network
